I get some relief from SARNA cream, its otc but costly, its temporary, at least I get some sleep. Try that till we figure this out, NEXT PERSON THAT TELLS ME TO STOP SCRATCHING OR NOT TO USE HOT WATER IS GETTING WACKED!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! I often do research on different chemicals in our food and follow all kinds of theories, but when it comes to this....SLS Sulfate Lauryl Sodium...All I found was BAD BAD stuff connected to this ingredient. Proven to be a carcinogen, and you are totally right! HORRIBLE that it is in everything that smells good...even in some of the so called NATURAL shampoos, deodorants, toothpaste, lotions, oils...YOU NAME IT! INCLUDING your food! I have been itching for months now, and thought I had some kind of environmental allergy. I do believe it was all the SLS I was dumping on and in myself for years!!!! The body will tell you when there is something wrong, you MUST listen to it!!! Thank you Chadhoward for making this known on here, and keep spreading the news about this! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! If we stop buying it, they will eventually STOP selling it!!!
Day two of Vitamin D 4000Un per day. Call me Psycho, but I feel relief. -I'm wondering how your itching is? Are you still getting relief? I'm planning on continuing the Vitamin D, and add Folic Acid. I actually was able to sleep a full 6 hours, and it has been about 28 hours since I had my last episode. By episode, I mean the hot water/shower and scratching til I bleed. I have found that a lotion for Eczema with Coloidal Oatmeal helps, also. How are you doing? I'll spare you descriptions of scratching/feeling hopeless on relief.
So very glad I found this! First time this has happened to me, F/60/Midwest. I've got all of your symptoms, and thought I was losing my mind. Definitely may be on the way, if the Vitamin D, and Folic Acid doesn't help. I've been consumed with this for a week; my legs are bruised and streaked with broken capillaries from itching so hard. I've been to the doctor twice, and walk in Urgent Care. I'm praying this works for me. I can see why someone would think about suicide. The itch is relentless, and nothing really stops it, you just get a temporary relief. I'll post in a few days to let others know if anything has changed.
Thank you very much AlbanianGirl, I will try that. I thought my liver was not healthy, but from your submission, I did a research and realized the liver needs vitamin d to function well, hence the itching
YOU ARE VITAMIN-D DEFICIENCY....I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND FROM ALL THE LEG ITCHING, I'VE LITERALLY SCRATCHED MYSELF WITH THICK BRISTLE BRUSHES AND THE SATISFACTION OF ITCHING WAS NEVER ENOUGH. I'VE PLACED MY LEGS IN HOT-HOT WATER FOR 10-15 MINUTES (IT FEELS AMAZING) AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD STOP THE ITCHING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND HE SAID IT'S ALLERGY. I STOPPED EATING ALMOST EVERYTHING, LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT...EVEN WATER WOULD MAKE ME ITCH. I TOOK MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS AND DID A FULL INVESTIGATION. CAME TO FIND OUT THAT WE ARE VITAMIN -D DEFICIENCY. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT TAKING A VITAMIN THAT'S HIGH IN FOLIC ACID (PRENATAL VITAMINS) TOGETHER WITH THE VITAMIN-D DOES MIRACLES.
1. FIRST DAY TAKE (4) 1000IUD AND 1 PRENANTAL VITAMIN
2. DAY TWO TAKE ANOTHER (4) 1000iud AND 1 PRENATAL VITAIND
3. DAY THREE TAKE (3) 1000IUD AND 1 PRENATAL VITAMIN
4, TAKE 2 AND THEN EVERY DAY TAKE 1 ONLY.
VITAMIN-D IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR BODY/HEALTH, IF DEFICIENT WE GET ALL KINDS OF SYMPTOMS/DISEASES THAT DOCTORS KEEP MISDIAGNOSING US. IN LESS THAN 1 WEEK, I PROMISE YOU WILL BETTER AND HAVE IT COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR.
