I have had constant itching for many years but it has worsened over the past 2yrs.
I have omitted fish, all dairy products and wheat from my diet but I still have a dog.
When the itching started years ago, I did not have a dog/cat but was in a stressful business. I assumed itching was caused by this stress. I itch from head to the soles of my feet. I have been on Clarityn for 5 years (daily) and suffer particularily during the summer months, although in the winters, I itch when I am warm. I shower many times per day to ease my skin. As a black person, I am not aware of any obvious rash but I can feel raised lumps on parts of my body occasionally. I also get a boil under my arm pits once in a while (is this connected).
2. I have also had a total hysterectomy (20yrs ago) and I wonder if the 'ants crawling syndrome' is due to this also. I feel as though there as ants in my bed and under my skin. Can you imagine being married to me?
