Yes... Itchy skin mostly on the forearms, sometimes on the legs but also around my nose and more noticable in the evenings.. Sometimes it makes my legs feel fidgety as well.

hi i also have itchy skin ,thought it was a monthly thing ??? but maybe not have just resorted to a antihistamine ,dont know if it will work .i also have a skin condition called rosacea which has been made worse with thyroxine ,my gp said dont worry everyone will think you are a teenager with acne !!!!! i am 46 and look 46 so no chance there ,and like perks i have restless legs and arms ,suprisingly have been married for 21 years and no he's not a saint just a glutton for punishment ,seriously though it doesnt make for good relations when you itch and twitch all night ,do you all have this all the time or just some of the time ?as i said mine seems to be more a week before time of the month wonder are my hormones all out of sinc ?do we need all our hormones checking periodically ,will let you know if antihistamines work . jan xxx
