all over itching getting worse

[Cathhunt]

hi looking for some advice , have itching both sides of abdomen which has increased to now itching all over , legs , stomach , inside ear , down below . Have not used anything different, diet not changed - have history of psoriasis for years but never experienced itching all over before . Also very painful bones and generally feeling rubbish - tired most of the time . Any ideas - when you look online comes up with Hodgkin lymphoma- which I hope it’s not

Have you had blood test to check if anything is out of whack ? Liver problems can cause intense itching and vitd/ calcium issues can cause bone pains and fatigue.

I haven’t as yet no , I’m going to make an appointment with the GP to check , I do have health anxiety but the itching is uncomfortable all of the time , thank you for your reply

🤔 Your ‘itching’ problem could be linked to Psoriasis.. even anxiety..or ‘something else’.

🙂Obviously you need this sorted as soon as possible..I hope you get helpful advice from your GP.

Yes you’re right , have joint pain too which doesn’t help

hi itching can be linked to the menopause. I get it bad and my skin has become very dry. If you look at menopause symptoms there are loads. Joint pain is also another one. Such a joy!

Yes I did see that , I have an appointment with the doctor next week

Sounds like you are low on estrogen
