Nope nothing different....now the itching is spreading down my legs!!!...argghhhhh!!!! annoying!!! xx

You have my sympathies Rach. For the last few days I've had really itchy boobs !

I get it now and then when I'm stressed and it drives me nuts . I also get very strange looks because I keep having to stick my hand down there and have a good scratch !

Oh Rach...... I really sympathise with you I have awful itching it drives me crazy so I use oilatum which was prescribed from my GP, I think it may be down to stress, but in the last 6 weeks I have had shingles twice so the general itching is part of the condition unfortunatley.

So lets all itch togethether and call ourselves the itchy coo club!!! lol

hi you poor thing the more you itch the more you scratch and it becomes a vicious circle doesnt it bless you have you tried aqueous cream it is only about £1 and it is a huge tub just a thought i use it and you can use it as a soap too just mix it in your hab with water give that a try love to you diddle x

I used to get that itchy feeling like there was a insect crawling on me, skin in places would go bright red like sun burn and hot and a rash under the skin little pimples, then some one wrote into the Fybro Family Magazine had the same and yes it was to do with FB, the advised her to take Vitamins A, C, D and Zinc. I worked for me but now dont take the zinc. Might help x

Me to i think its down to our old enemy Mr Fybro!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I get that itching sometimes, I think ( not that I know), that it might be all the different temperatures your body experiences, you know one minute your hot the next your cold, did you ever feel your neck and shoulders when you're feeling hot?, you could fry an egg on them, maybe the temperatures collide, and you start to itch, as funny as that sounds. Do you ever get pins and needles all over your body, and either wake up at night in agony, ( you know), or half of your body numb and feeling dead and if you run your fingers up your other side you feel like its not skin at all it feels soft like lace and like electricity, pins and needles?

When that happens which is so frequently, I think to myself there's definitely something badly wrong with me, no joking!

Love Claire, take care xxx
