Yes but I thought it was the medication

This can be from medication or a number of other causes, my advice would be to check in with your GP:) Hope you get it sorted.

My itching drives me mad but mine is definitely medication related. We are on so many different pills and potions that we need pills for the pills for the fibro. Work that one out. Your doc should give you some both histamines if it's the pills you take. Gentle hugs ?

Itching drives me crazy. I always have anti histamines in the house for if it gets really bad. My Doc prescribes me Dermol 500 to wash with as itching can be made worse by our lovely scented shower gels etc. Dermol can also be used as a lotion to rub in like moisturiser between showers so maybe you could give something like a try, it certainly does help, even if doesn't totally eradicate the problem. Hope you find relief soon, soft hugs, Speedy xx

I itch as well thought it was laundry soap etc but have been told its just another symptom the illness

This illness is one that is caused by neuro messages being sent from the brain in error and the body responds

i also get times when a feather touch will cause me intense pain

ichiness is one step away from pain in other people lol note i did not say normal peoplease

Hugs

I have itchy legs, but I think that's down to my lymphoedema! I'm soooo close to scratching, but I daren't as I'd just open the skin!! I use aqueous cream which keeps my skin moist, doesn't do much for the itching though!!!! XXXX
