I dont know if this is anything to do with my thyroid or not...but any input would be helpful.
I have a rash on my entire body. It started out at about noon time. I noticedmy forearm was itchy. But its was just a little red, no bumps. I also noticed my hair/head was itchy. It kinda went away. THis happened when I went to 1 store in the mall. Then later in the night I started itching again. Same area, this time I noticed bumps. Then it kept spreading...itching in different spots... I tried taking a cool shower after I couldn't take it, but it didn't really help. Now, 2:30am I woke up itching. Right between all of my fingers, the palms of my hands, between my toes... I AM GOING INSANE.
The only place it isn't itchy is my face and genital area. Thats it. THANK GOD.
I've been on meds (tapazole) for 3 weeks now, could it be that? I took some benadryl hoping it will help me. I dont know if I am allowed but I am desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not used any new soaps, deodorants, I have no food allergies... no new clothing...etc. This is the first time in my life that I've had something like this happen. I never have sensitivity of my skin.

He asked if I had a sore throat I said no.
But I dont know if anyone saw that other post, but a few days ago my thyroid area was killing me! Does that have anything to do with this?
I too have the itchies all thetime. This started a few weeks ago and it is my
upper arms that itch. I wake up in the night and scrach. Drive s me crazy. I do
take bendryl to calm it or me down. It helps at night to so I can sleep. I just
started on Armour meds a month ago. Someone here suggested ice packs which help
some also.Not sure what it is but it drives me crazy.
So, 4 days later, still itching....ahhhhhh!!!!
i just hate the thought that I am gonna suffer til surgery. Most of my symptoms were still around, except my hair falling out!!!
