the itching

[seeker]

Ok, ever since my diagnosis last week ive been itching all over. I know they all cant be H. I am wondering if someone can say if they are able to tell the difference in itches? looking back since what I believe to have been my first OB I think I had a different kind of itch in my nether regions on occasion, bit more of a sting to it, more pinpointed, not really satiated by scratching. am I just deluding myself or is there a difference? right now I feel like I just watched one of those monsters inside me or infested shows.

thanks, I have/will look thru those. so far nothing has happened with the non nether region itching ( nor have I been itchy there) im thinking it was in my head, like when someone finds a tick on them everyone around starts itching. plus I do have allergies yet they have been fairly stable this summer.

Hey @Seeker, any improvements? Out of interest are you taking any medication? I was having an all over itch until recently, think Acyclovir may have been causing it and my doc agrees... Came off it and it's stopped, I still get random itches though but the normal kind :)

ok how do you do the @ soandso?

newmoon, not really. im thinking a fair amount of the itching is in my head or a result of it being summer in florida. and we are in a bit of a heat wave here. the feels like temp has been 100-107 any given day this week. probably more where I was working ( outside btw) right in the sun and over asphalt!!!! by 9 am I look like I just went swimming in my clothes. I am not on any meds, first DR appoint is this upcoming week. I just bought lysine last night. only been taking a good multi and some Echinacea/goldenseal caps as I swear those two do wonders (killed a nasty flu years ago in a few days where everyone else I knew took weeks to get over it). I also have general allergies and it could be part of the dealio. my eyes were itchy as were my coworkers.
