Extremely itchy

I don't know about that unless your on lithium or something. I suppose it's possible to itch from anxiety but, it most likely to be related to medications you take. I personally have not had that yet though.

There can be a number of reasons why you are feeling itchy. Could it be your washing powder? Even if it is the same washing powder that you have used for years, you may have developed an allergic reaction to it. It could be an allergic reaction to food that you have eaten, soap that you have used. Allergies can rear their ugly head at any time as our bodies change over the years. Or, it could be as @Concernedgal has said and it may be an allergic reaction to your meds. It could also be a habit forming there. Are you expecting to get itchy? If you think and focus on an itch say, on the tip of your pinky finger, after a while, it will itch. (Mind over matter.) Go back to your Doctor and ask him to look into it properly. There must be a reason for it, and he should be able to help.

When I see her iin a coupleo f weels I am going to mention to this new doctor hopefully she can try something i do know that powered soaps make me itch btu ihave friend who shops and does my laundry for me and i pay him to btu i dont know what he uses,, I even itch well how do i say this ,well m y mom would just say down below,i have been using anti itch cream sometimes it helps and other time no now today o got another ome f those crappy smelling infections underneath my booby but it goes away in about two days ,

When I lived in Egypt, it would get so hot that I would sweat under my boobies too and I ended up with a heat rash. How I overcome it was easy enough. After I showered, I would put antiperspirant under them, and when that dried, I would put talc before getting dressed. It helped and I never suffered from it again.
With finding the cause for an allergy, if at all it is an allergy, you need to eliminate one thing at a time. First, change the soap powder and see if it makes a difference. If not, then try the next thing, and the next until you get to the source. It takes a bit of time, but you will get there in the end.

It seems that you need to take a bit of a rest @XmasCarol52 take it easy. If you are a bit wobbly on your legs then just curl up in front of the TV, or on the sofa with a good book. You must take care of yourself and not push yourself to do more than you can handle. Just take one step at a time. If you're feeling weak, then rest is the best option. If your body is tired, then it is its way of telling you to slow down and rest. So rest you must do! If you are still feeling like this after some time, then contact your doctor who will know how to help you. Bless you, XmasCarol. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Try to set yourself a 'go to bed-time'. Then set your alarm to wake yourself up in the morning. In the morning when your alarm goes off, get up. However tired you feel. Get up. Get dressed and stay awake. Don't sleep in the day. Stay awake until bedtime. Half an hour before you go to bed, drink a mug of warm milk. Don't drink coffee or tea after two in the afternoon. Don't drink sugary drinks after two in the afternoon. Make two in the afternoon your cut off time for consuming sugar, carbohydrates, and caffeine. Come bedtime, either read or watch a movie. Sprinkle lavender on your pillow or get yourself a lavender pouch. Go to bed at the same time each day. Don't worry if you don't fall asleep straight away. Don't think about it. Just lay down. Soon enough, your body will accustom itself to this routine. You will begin to naturally wake up just before the alarm, and you will start to fall asleep when you lay your head on the pillow.

Try not to think so9 much when you go to your bed. That is why reading a book or watching a movie helps, it takes your mind elsewhere, rather than dwelling on thoughts.

Watching TV should help you to sleep better. I wonder have you told your Doctor that you are having trouble sleeping? What is important is that you keep your mind clear. Try not to think too much. I know that is difficult. Who can clear their mind totally and make it blank on command? I know I find that extremely difficult. That's why I watch a DVD before I go to sleep. It takes my mind into the film that I'm watching. If I didn't do that I would lay awake for hours. It would come to sunrise and I would realise that I was still awake and that I had been thinking all night.

An average of one hours sleep per day though is dangerous for your health so I really hope you see your Doctor and ask him for a remedy.

That is very good news that you are seeing a lady doctor to get help. Perhaps she will give you some medication that you can take a little while before you sleep. Try not to get anxious before going @XmasCarol52 It is an appointment you need to have to make you feel better. Lack of sleep won't do any good for your anxiety problems. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Your drawings are so adorable @XmasCarol52 . My doctor is a man. I hate him. He never listens to me. I begged him not to prescribe me ssri, does he care? No. He ups the dose by 100% . He went from 40 to 80 mgs. I mean are you crazy? When I tell you that my medication causes serious side effects than why are you still prescribing it to me and at a higher dose?!! Maybe I will also have better luck with a female doctor because men don't seem to want to listen. I need a doctor that will listen to me and be more understanding and I think only a female doctor has the capacity to uderstNd another women. I need help and I know that but, not his kind of help though. Anyway. How have you been lately? Your neighbor still being a butt to you?
