My whole body started itching about 6 months ago. I'm in my 50's and never had any major allergy problems in the past. Taking allegra works for me but I would rather know the cause. Dermatologist not any help. In my case I suspect the following possible causes: GMO food, although I eat organic most of the time. HFCS, chem trails, type 2 diabetes, over weight, need more water. So I will work on these issues.

Same problem here! The only thing that helps me is medicated anti-itch cream or Triamcinolone Acetonide .1%. It works although its only a temporary fix, it will get you through the night. like all of you, I want this to end. my itching is so severe want to use a wire brush! I have suffered from this for about 15 yrs.
Your nerve sounds exactly what is called nerve itching, which I've had for about 15 months. At times it has been really bad, but I started using a lotion called Sarna recommended by my pharmacist. I am a veteran and go to a VA hospital and Duke University Hospital is just across the street, so my Dr. is actually a Duke Doctor. I was told by my Dr. there is no cure for nerve itching, but I just read an article published by Duke that was very enlightening. Just Goggle "Is Duke doing any research on nerve itching" and you will find it. Even thought I do itch on several parts of my body, the worse is my head area and especially when I go to bed. I have to get up and lather my head with the Sarna lotion and it eventually stops, so that I can go to sleep. My Dr. has given me a stress/anxiety med and changed one of my blood pressure meds as he thinks it could be causing the itching and both of these have really helped. From what I have read from other post, my itch really doesn't seem to be as bad as many of the posters. I do hope this has helped you, as there have been many nights when I would go to bed and within10 minutes back up head itching terribly and on goes the Sarna. Oh yes, I was told not to take hot baths/sowers, cool ones, wear mostly cotton and do not use fabric softener and 100% cotton sheets.
