My grandmother is extremely itchy all over. Her skin is not dry.
From head to toe she is itchy. this has been going on for months. Her Dr. is constantly trying out different things to try.
Nothing seems to work.

Have they given her Atarax-misspelt I think..It is for itching..Look between her fingers to make sure she doesnt have any bites/bumps in this area..IF she does it might be bed bugs..Have they dont labwork on her?

FOUND IT itchy skin is relative to a zinc deficiency or a copper overload the two are antagonists of each other & must be balanced for good health. To learn this, go to the following educational site ithyroid.com here you can learn how to balance minerals so they compliment good health.
God bless!
