I am a 36yo female that has been dealing with this uncontrollable itching since I was about 24.
Doctors think i'm nuts and my bf is just like ok your crazy or over reacting!
I told him you don't get it, it's so bad it makes me want to cut my feet off!
It's ALWAYS only at night. It's mostly my feet and toes but, sometimes my hands and fingers.
It's my entire foot and ankle area. Tops of feet, bottoms, toes, ankles EVERYTHING on both feet!
I don't have to be sleeping it starts within a hour of laying down trying to wind down. It has woke me from a dead sleep before.
The itch is so deep scratching doesn't stop it and it just has to die down on it's own.
Skin always looks normal, no rash no redness no bumps.
Happens 3-5 nights a week.
I do have a history of depression and bi polar but, it happens weather i'm happy or not or weather i'm stressed or not.
My back used to itch too as soon as I laid down to unwind but, that's seemed to have slowed down.
My theory for myself is a underlying auto immune disease but, who knows!
Could be a nerve disorder but, it's driving me INSANE and has been for many many years!
I do take A LOT of Goody's Powder for migraines, any where from 4-8 a day.
If anyone has anything please let me know!
There is absolutely NO pain just a deep god awful itch that last 1-3 hours sometimes up to 4-5 hours *CRIES*
