I woke up about an hour ago, after about 2 1/2 hours of sleep because my body was itching really badly all over; particularly my scalp, forearms and back.

Now I'm used to my head going like this and the only thing to do is get in the shower and wash my hair in medicated shampoo.  That sorted my scalp out, and my back has calmed down, but my arms are still itching like crazy and lots of tiny red spots are developing on the backs of my hands (all at hair follicles).

Does anyone have any idea what it is?  I don't have access to a doctor and I'm terrified that it's scabies or something (there's no sign of anything between my fingers/toes or on my wrists).

I saw the title of your thread and thought to myself, "do I really want to click on this?"  Now that I'm here ...


I don't really know (and don't WANT to know) what scabies is/are, so I can't help you there.  Just the name gets me jittery.

Anyway, although you said this woke you up, now that you're awake, part of it could be a mental thing.  In other words, stop thinking about your itchy skin!.

Now that that's done, put some lotion anywhere this is bothering you & go do something to take your mind off it.  If it persists or gets worse, then go see a doctor.

Also, and I mean this in the nicest possible way: Have you washed your sheets lately?  The problem could be fleas or bed bugs.  [smiley=eww.gif]

Thanks for overcoming your doubts and posting!  


I know this is completely the wrong place to discuss this, but I needed reassurance and it's only 7am here so I can't do anything yet.

Like I said I can't see a doctor, but I'll try later to find a pharmacy that's open.

I'm sure that I've just got an overactive imagination about it being something horrible.

And don't worry, student flats might not be the most hygeinic places in the world, but I have changed my bedding this week!  
Honest...

Thankyou my dear, I've just gone and bought some in case this happens again.

By the way, do you ever sleep?  You were online when I went to bed at 3:30, still on for a while when I got up at 6:30, and now you're back on again.  ???

So glad the itch has gone.  But it may be your soap powder, especially if you use the stuff you buy in the laundrette, or cheap soap or overheating.  Or maybe it's a rare and undiagnosed alien disease brought here from a meteorite.... no?  have it your own way then.  it's probably scabies.  


Anne, you refused the op?  Why?  Have you tried acupuncture yet.  I'll bet you haven't.  I told you.  I had pain for over a year but the acupuncture got rid of it after only a couple of sessions.  Do not suffer needlessly.   This is your mother talking.....  >

[smiley=laughing.gif] Oh, that made me chuckle, you said it so sincerely!

Thanks for your concern.

Well, that's what I keep telling everyone, but then they always seem to have an urgent appointment to run off to...  


I think hypochondria runs in the family.

Well, you don't keep me informed about these things do you?  Last time I heard it was a skiing injury you got on Mt Blanc escaping from the Italian Secret Service.  You'd just stolen the secret receipe for Spaghetti cake and were delivering it to M when the helicopter you were in made a forced landing above the tree line and you were forced to jump 50 feet, land on your skis and get safely away....

So you're telling me now that MI5 don't have comprehensive health cover for it's overseas operatives?   You need a union.

They have just advertised the new Dr Who series coming soon on our TV.  So you recommend we watch it do you?

That would be a yes, then.  


I saw two of them in the Easter holidays, one where they go to the Year 5 Billion, which I really liked (especially the Last Remaining Human) and one where they travel back in time and meet Charles Dickens, which I didn't like as much, but I laughed when Dickens made the comment "What the Shakespear?"

I never saw any of the original serieses (what's the plural of series?), but I've been told that the style is very similar and they kept the same level of silliness.

But I want to see the Darleks!  
 Hopefully someone at home has filmed it for me...

Well, Anne could be a little bit more enthusiastic about this series. "YES yes YYYYYYYYYYes" might not be enough to express the full range of her emotions regarding this series, how much she loves it, and... What are we talking about again?

Series does not have any specific plural form: it didn't have any in Latin (I think), and none has been created in English either. Though if you insist, I guess we could come up with an irregular plural for that word: seria, or something like that perhaps. It would, of course, be pointless, but that's the charm of it.
