Help..i Itch

[Sherryg683]

This has gotten ridiculous..I feel like a dog with fleas or something. This has been going on for about 3 months now. It will start with my scalp itching, then my whole body just itches. Feels like needles sometimes and if I scrach, it just makes me itch more. I have literally scratched myself till I bleed. It will last about 4 days, then go away for about a week then start up again. I went to the dermatologist and she couldn't find anything, said maybe my skin was dry but I don't think that's what it is. Don't really have any rashes. As some of you know, I had that horrible case of shingles that lasted 8 months but I never recall any itching like this. Although, through my itching..I do feel some residual nerve pain, not terribly bad though like before. I don't even know what type of doctor to go to with this,... a neurologist? Any advise or anyone had the same thing? I'm still on Hercepting but that's about it. No change in soap or laundry detergent. Is it just my nerves? ...sherryg683
