Ok, so I'm dying to know if I'm the only one experiencing this or not!! I've been having itchy feet, but it's really only at night, and primarily when I'm getting into bed. It's so bizarre, and it often wakes me up. I can't stand it. It's driving me nuts! I crawl into bed, and the itchy feet start. I'm a pretty clean person here, so I really don't get it. I have had some problems with my feet having like fungus, but that's basically been dealt with. I also have some crusties on one foot, but it won't go away, no matter what I use, whether it's anti-bacterial salve or anti-fungal. Nothing works. But this itchiness is different. It's on the tops of my feet, and it's absolutely unbearable. It's all around my feet, like it affects my heels, too, but not the bottom of my feet. It's both feet. I have to sleep in socks, because my feet get too cold. But, I will literally wake from a dead sleep and start scratching. I suspect I will even scratch in the middle of my sleep, cuz I've been known to do that! Does anyone else do this? I'm afraid I'm gonna destroy my feet and ruin my skin if this doesn't stop. It doesn't bother me during the day. I've tried Benadryl, and I've considered taking it just to help me sleep and prevent me from having to mess with it. Any thoughts? TIA! Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.
I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.
Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...
