itchy

Does anyone else get itchy all over, it feels like little bubbles moving around and bursting under the skin. It kept me awake most of the night in between stupid dreams. If anyone else does get this what do you do to stop it.

Yes. Mine is from sun, chemical, fabric, scent sensitivity (get hives)and yeast build up.

I take a Melatonin at night so don't have problems sleeping any more. I also use Lanocane, Gold Bond powder, take a Benadryl the odd time and use Benadryl spray.

The hives are just a new thing..about a year now but always had rashes and itchy skin.

Vonny,

It could be an allergy. Have you changed laundry detergent lately? There is one that I can't use or I itch all over. I take Allegra daily and Benedryl for spot allergies. There are some anti itch lotions you could try too. Hugs, Keleee :)

Try using Mineral Ice on the affected area. That is something my acupuncturist told me and it works. It draws blood to the area and seems to ease the itching.

My doc told me zyrtec is especially helpful for autoimmune hives and itchiness. He was right. This stops it...but of coursr it does not come in a generic yet and is costly. My insurance oays some and my cost is $35 for 30 pills. They last awhike cuz I only take as needed.

I get itchy - not sure if its the same as you describe. I take vicodin for the pain and if I'm having a high pain day I don't know if its the vicodin or the pain but I get the itchies - especially on my head and ears - I used to take benadryl but the doctor said to knock that off since I was complaining of being tired so much. He put me on Zyrtec which has helped so far with no side effects.

Once I broke out in hives all over my body - we never did know why - but they put me on presnidone for that - and lots of calamine lotion.

I hope you can figure out what is causing yours and "fix it". Soft hugs, Deb

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
