Extremely itchy

[XmasCarol52]

I have this problem sometimes when I itch like crazy like today my doctor once told me it was from my anxieties,Am I the only one who gets this?Sometimes it gets so bad all I do is scratch all day,I makes me feel so dirty like i haven't bathed in weeks,but I do everyday .I have tried creams but nothing seems to work..The doctor years ago even gave me a medicine for it ,while it helped i had to stop using the stuff because I became so dizzy hot and shaky it was just awful ,you could say I am just itching to get relief of this,ONe time I even broke out with hives that is what it kind of feels like hives but I dont have any..

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.

 

[XmasCarol52]

I just want to start over from SCRATCH.i told u I am a pun user..It is still very annoying,,

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 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.

I am under the weather today very tired and nervous when i wak cause i fee like legs are going to cave in o me,I hear this swishes sound like two days nwow but nobody else can hear it eff first is my eye then my sounds,

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.

Boy did I ever rest I slept mostly all say Saturday Sunday and today the wobbly feeling today so far is gone oh believe me i knew it was because i was in so much need of sleep.You cant go five days with only five hours of sleep well at least I cannot,I felt like I was going to drop because I was so tired.I do feel better but am tired ,always been a tired person perhaps it is from milk but I didnt drink that much,,thank you for your concern and for being so nic e to me,i hope you are okay..

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.

I usually just crawl underneath the covers and watch tv.I have to elevate my legs to.

 

[janemariesayed]

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.

I do have sleep disorder cannot begin to even try to spell it but is sounds like apheia ,last night I was watching Baggage but didnt get to sleep until about three i did manage about four hours but i am tired.Come to think of it th big dummy never gave me anything for it however he is gone so i will asks this woman doctor if she can help.. I am not looking forward to that visit already having anticipatory anxieties, I know nothing will happen but in my head or lack of brain lol it will tell me something different u know like be scared. love the dog pix.

 

[janemariesayed]

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.

I have to go on the 14 of march and my son is taking me ugh,,I know i always get so worked up like something bad will happen,but it never does maybe this sounds corny but i say a prayer the minute i get into the car even before, For my peace of mind..

 

[XmasCarol52]

I do feel pretty good this morning shows what a good amount of sleep does for you and that besides it is going tobe about 60 today maybe i can look stand outside for a little while and if it is nicer out maybe even sit,I can take my knitting with me,I feel actually pretty today ,even my mailman told me yesterday that I looked very pretty,that was so nice to hear i did put on some lipstick and nice pink you sometimes when u put on a little makeup it lightens up your mood and spirit ,just an idea for anyone even getting all dressed up can do the same thing,okay with my greatest pleasure some more of my pix

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?
