Itchy

Posted by Anna on September 16, 2002 at 00:15:19:

I am having huge problems with getting itchy at night. This usually starts in the early evening (about 6/7pm) and continues until I am eventually able to fall asleep. I don't think it's Restless Legs, because I itch all over (arms, legs, back..) and it only seems to happen at night.
I don't have any apparent skin disorders (eczma, dermatitis) and I use a "soap" free body lotion in the shower - none of which seems to help.

I do have quite poor circulation due to a heart condition, but I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this, or if anyone has any suggestions.
