Hi all,

I’ve been taking Lithium around 8 years now. Over the last few years I’ve had few odd medical things happening and wondering if any others have seen similar side effects? Doctor can’t find contra indications but wondering if these might ring a bell?

  1. Itchy hands and feet, I take antihistamines now to reduce symptoms
  2. Skin conditions like excema or psoriasis
  3. Issues do to with inflammation, e.g I’ve had cellulitis twice, generally find it hard to kill off infections without antibiotics.

Cheers 🙌🌞😁

    I’ve never been on lithium but for other unknown reasons around age 25 I developed the first two symptoms you mentioned.

    All three of your symptoms seems like autoimmune things maybe.

    So the things you’re experiencing might have nothing to do with lithium.
