it all started during decemeber of last year i thought it was due to the cold weather and my skin was just getting dry ... but every time normally it is worse right before i go to sleep my skin is like on fire my arms itch my legs itch my back itches so bad that after i scratch for what seems like forever it leaves these large welts and bumps ..... i sometimes try to take as hot of shower as i can stand and that relieves the pain some ... but i have it re-occurring alot sometimes when i am hot sometimes not .... almost always right before i seem to "relax" or try to go to sleep.... its so painful and frustrating ... i take some benedryl to knock myself out to go to sleep but that doesn't even subside the pain or make the itching stop sometimes .... please anyone with advice i dont know what to do ... i tried seeing if i was allergic to my fabric wash ( i'm not) i tried seeing and watching what i ate and drank ( nothing no allergies) i cant figure out what is causing this .View Thread
