does anybody else find they itch like mad when in bed and my hands keeps geting pins and needles

[Ozzygirl64]

I do and it is so annoying as scratching an itch is also painful. I get pins and needles inthe hands quite often, even just sitting down. First my legs go to sleep then the feet, then the arms, hands and neck do it so I have to stand up again. It is one of things we have to grin and bear as there is not much we can do about it. I hope you do get some itch free nights hunxxxxx

Yes, I get itchy when I get hot in bed - mostly on my shins which can drive me crazy (and my husband too since I wake him up scratching!). Jane x

i havnt been diagnosed yet but al my symptoms point to fibro , i snapped my achilles an year ago and my body feels like its been battered

[pinkblossom]

I take an antihistamine for my itching,I reduce it in the winter as I'm not quite so bad,in the summer I break out in hives up my arms,chest and neck and itch like mad,I have to keep out of the sun as it makes it really bad or if I overheat,as for the pins and needles that something iv also recently started getting,I posted a question a couple days ago about numbness and tingling in my hands which I got interesting bit of feedback on you may want to read...x

I'm glad it isn't me who feels as though they have a thousand fleas in their bed at night. as soon as I get beneath the sheets my legs begin to itch, and then the night sweats start, then I need the bathroom etc etc, and round and round it goes until it is morning,. Then I want to go to sleep instead of getting up.

we must be twins Mal!! Your post could've been written by me!!

looks like we're all as bad as each other, i too get the itch, and night sweats and restless legs, etc etc etc. Ive moved into the spare room so my darling hubby can get some sleep, then at least one of us is fresh in the morning to care for the other one.

we're pensioners so at least we don't have to get up for work like some of you have to.

Hi I am having the same problems but have found that using Prickly Heat powder on my legs a great releaf. It stops the itching and cools them down, found it on Amazon. May be worth a try

last night it was horendus , i itch all night my legs couldnt get comfy so i am so tired today and just heading off to work omg

[peppersoo]

I had a bad night too, itching is driving me nuts, I scratch until I'm sore then end up with scabs that look disgusting, I scratch in my sleep too. Thankfully I sleep alone but my sheet are always covered in blood, it's horrible and have to go to hydro therapy today, I feel so ashamed at the though of someone seeing all these marks on my legs arms and shoulders. I've tried anti hystamine's but they didn't help I still scratch. I was tested for lymphoma due to the sweating and itching. Thankfully it came back negative, but always worth checking out.

Itching is another symptom quite common with Fibromyalgia -

Because Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome involve the central nervous system, we can get all kinds of strange goings on in our nerves. We can get burning, tingling, numbness, pin pricks and itches. This category of sensation is called Paresthesia.
