Itching
I've been living with Fibromyalgia for a long while now and just discovered that itching can be another symptom.
I've always had extremely itchy legs (sometimes other places--arms, scalp on occasion) that I scratch so much that I end up with sores. I've tried different soaps, laundry detergents (tho, now I make my own), lotions, etc. and I really don't think it's an allergy to any of those things.
The itching can be maddening at times. It definitely increases at night. The thought of RLS crossed my mind because I often feel very restless at night but still wasn't sure if that was what was going on.
My doctor just told me I had dry skin but I don't believe that. I've tried lotion after showering to trap moisture.
What are your experiences?
