does anyone else get itchy all over -- roving itchiness -- with no noticeable/visible rash? is this lyme and/or a coinfection? i'm currently on a treatment break while i wait to get in with a new practitioner so maybe the bugs are going buck wild; this is a new symptom for me. makes it hard to sleep!! (harder than usual, that is..)

help..?!

Definitely lots of itchiness.

I think it is the yeast... no rash, comes and goes, mostly feet and legs.

But I am open to it being something else.

For me it is associated with eating foods to which I am sensitive...sugar, corn syrup, and gluten mostly.

It may be a yeast problem or it may be just a sensitivity.

Neuropathy may also be a contributing factor. Mine range from the feeling of something crawling on me to positively insane want to scratch your skin off episodes.

So sorry.

But definitely watch the diet too, as candida will cause this in some. Also, this is a known symptom of kidney, or is it liver, malfunctioning. And, oddly enough, my Mother, who has not been diagnosed with any TBDs, experiences this too... Babesia?

Just thought I would make it more confusing [Smile]

I get this every time I get out of the shower or bath and it lasts about an hour. It is a creepy crawly tingly itchiness.

heiwalove, I agree it could be neuropathy.

I am dealing with these issues right now, and my doctor thinks it is nerve related. I am currently treating Babesiosis. Have you been tested for it?

I hope it resolves for you soon. I know how annoying it is!

I think it is neuro. I feel like things are crawling on me; and I do itch some but not severe.

All over itchiness can also be a sign that your liver is being overtaxed...if you're on a lot of abx, painkillers, or other meds that must filter through your liver, please keep this in mind.

yes i think its liver overtaxed as above

standard process antronex might help as it helps with antihistamine
and then during the day premier research liver nano detox which is tumeric

i think unburden the liver with infrared sauna, some enemas, what ever works for you
