Sleep

[I_z_232_3]

Well that's it for me now!!!!!! After a lovely time with our son, who I may say, drove 6hrs to surprise us, I can't sleep yet again, not because of the surprise visit, but the pain. I don't know if the itching that goes with it is because of the medication, another question for the Dr, bit it was great to see my son as we have such a close bond and have had since he was born. His partner is lovely as is his partner, so I am a lucky lady. Well folks I hope you all have as much of a pain free day as possible . Gentle hugs. Izzy x

I know the itching under skin isn't medication well in my case as I don't take pain meds unless I cannot move then it's paracetamol. I use relaxation and teeth gritting as I'm allergic to some pain meds n have had that ballooning can't breath experience n don't want to risk it again, it's so much worse than pain lol. I would say it's a symptom of the fibro hunny xxxxx

Hi Izzy, sorry your not sleeping, can't help with the itching either. I hope you are able to relax soon and get some decent sleep.

Take Care.x

So pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time with your son Izzy.

When my pain/soreness/aching is bad I also get very bad itching (no rash or sign of it the following day). I read some time ago that the itching is connected to those extra sensitive pain receptors firing off.

have a good day

I also suffer with itching mainly on arms and legs especially when I get warm as I also drip with sweat at night in bed . i have heredity cirrhosis and fibromyalgia as well as a couple of other ailments for good measure. I have found that calamine lotion applied to the itch area helps calm it. I hope it works for you. Hope you at least have a couple of good days over the Christmas season. All good wishes. Ingrid x

Thank you, I use E45 itch relief, it is the time it takes to work that I do the damage. It always seems to be at night the itching starts, I have tried sleeping with less bedding or my legs hanging out, I wish you an itch free Christmas and new year. Izzy x

Evening Sleep. The itching point you mention I had the same problem when taking a morphine based pill - Oramorph so had to stop taking it. the itch would wake me up during the night. No rashes just itching which made me scratch...all over my body. Maybe you arent taking this kind of pain relief ...... hope you can get something. I have not been prescribed any painkiller which helps my osteoarthritis so suffer in silence.
