Internal Itching
Wow, it never occurred to me, age 44 now, 45 in a few days that this itching that started a few days ago, on my right side, inside my body, was from menopause. I never heard of it but along with everything else I am feeling, like constantly having PMS......emotional, agitated, etc......all that is from Menopause? Anyone that has some ideas how to treat without prescriptions would be great. Thanks!!

internale Itching
I am also 44 and I have been having the same problem for the last few days It is inside my body through my legs, up my back and in my arms, I also have ringing ears and it seems to bother me the most when I lay down. It's not fun. I've also been have heart flutters, thumping and racing. I spoke to my Doctor and she told me that I am to young, but my body is saying I'm not. I do feel a little better after reading your posts because I had no idea what was going on.

I am 44 and had the itching all of you describe. It was awful. I could not sleep as it worsened at night. I finally tried a product by Jarrow Formulas called midlife ease. It took about two weeks to make the itching completely subside but was effective within the second day of taking it - the itching was not as bad. I am now itch free. Maybe it will offer relief to you, too.

Internal Itching
I also have the same problem that you all mention. I seem to have it more in my feet and legs than any where else. I am in my early 60's, but I remember having this problem off and on for many years. I also seem to have it more frequently at night than during the day.

About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and since that time, the itching has seemed to have gotten worse. I have done some research on the Internet and have discovered that it is a form of Neuropathy. Which makes sense since it is inside the body and does not seem to be caused by any type of allergic reaction to anything. Neuropathy also made sense because my itching sensations frequently seems to follow a line on my foot or up my leg. I have also noticed that when I get "an itching" in one of these areas, it will come back in that same area the next time.

My "episodes" seem to occur for about 30 minutes at a time. The itching seems to start slowly and gets progressively worse and stronger and then tapers off until it finally goes away. I have also discovered that if I can put cold compresses on the area it stops the itching much faster. I have also found that taking an anti-inflammatory medicine (Tylenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofin, etc.) seems to help.

I hope my situation has possibly shed some light on what may be going on with you and that this information will at least give you some more information to talk with your doctor about.

inside the body itching
Hey I have itching going on in the inside of my body but I can't scratch it. It started win I was a teenager and now I am in my mid 20's and I don't no what it is. It may start itching in my waist then it will move all the way to my shoulder and sometimes my back for about 15min to an hour until it stops. Wherever it starts itching it just moves and it starts anywhere in my body.
