Thanks for the suggestions. I am on some steroid creams. I finally got the the pharmacy to pick them up. They say it will work wonders.

Spoke to the big city hospital today. She sympathized with me, and saw that I am miserable, but asked me to please stay on copaxone anyway. Interferons are out for me, and the only other step is TY. They really dont like putting folks on Ty, and would prefer to see me itchy with cracked ears. At least we figured out why this is happening.

Thanks for all the hugs.
