Q: Itching, All Over.

Hi.

Im getting quite worried about my itching, normally I wouldnt batter an eyelid but then I got to reading internet sites about it and now im paranoid.

Basically the other day my arm started to itch, it wouldnt go no matter how hard I scratched... Well not for like 20 minutes or so and it kept comming back. Then the next morning I woke up with the same thing in my back (again scratching hasent done much, nor rubbing etc). Since then I have had it in upper/ lower back, legs and arms and its getting quite worrying.

And opinions on what it may be? I am going to go book an appointment with the doctor tommorow and that.

Also my urine may be slightly yellow but that could just me being all paranoid (i do drink heavily though. And am now just drinking water for the time being).

Cheers.

Pinkspider, I can sympathize with you!! In Feb. I broke out in bumps on my arms that itch like crazy and when I scratch them I bruise. I, then got it on my legs, etc.etc. That itching just drives me crazy. I have been to a dermatolgist and md, allergist and a rhuematolgist. The M.D. thinks I have lupus and the rhuematlogist didn't tell me what he thought it was, but put me on Plaquenil, which makes me think he thinks it is lupus. Everytime I go off the prednizone it spreads and gets worse.
I don't know what is causing this!!
Hugs to you,
Lynda

Hey Pinkspider, didn't realize your post was so old, did you find out what the itching was? Honestly, my guess was going to be scabbies since it's a very common parasite in the United States now and can be very contagious.
