Anyone else itching?

In the last few months I've been getting hives randomly on my hands and feet, usually only when I'm really worn out and exhausted. But they are miserably itchy and aggravating. My doc said it could also be a symptom of the fibro, but I've never heard of this before. Does anyone else have hives or itching?

I suddenly got a itchy rashy patch on the back of my head . (scalp area).. told my doc about it . he said it was clogged follicles..

My daughter is a license beautician.. and said no that is not..

Anyhow.. doc said to wash my hair everyday.. and nothing else.. well no help.. still itches . its a new deal for me ... this just started a few months ago...

Can't figure it out.. sometimes it itches like crazy..

daughter took a pic of it on her phone. and it said that it was another side effect from fibro.............sigh..

I too get random itching, usually on my stomach, sides, and back. It IS very annoying. My doctor also feels it may be another symptom of my Fibro. There doesn't seem to be any other explanation since I haven't changed anything, i.e. soaps, etc... Hugs GB

Hi Advise from an old coot. Those deep intense itches are hard to figure out what causes them. I could not get to many of my itches because they seemed to be inside. I found that if I stay away from my food triggers the itches were reduced. Have to keep hydrated with safe fluids. That means if water is your choice of beverage you have to filter out the chlorine or let it evaporate out on the counter. You have to avoid all pops, coffee, and alcohol. Or find the level that is safe for you. Dyes in fruit juices frequently give me hives. You have to figure out for yourself what your triggers are. I find that if I have a severe itch, an ice bag on the area gives the most relief. And I take an antihistamine every day. That has really helped.
