Every once in a while I will put on clothes and suddenly all I can think to do is get out of them they make me itch so much. I just want to walk around naked but I would scare people!
I have had on two shirts and two different pairs of pants to find something that won't itch so much. This happens to me on occasion and I wondered if this strange FM thing happened to others as well.
Ah the life being in an FM body!

oh yes!!!!!!!!! itchies all the time on my back...drives me insane cuz my arms don't reach back there at all... i bought a long stick thing to scratch with but not much strength in hands for pressure..wind up leaning my back onto things and trying to scratch it that way..in public i get really strange looks from people..but when it gets bad i don't care who is looking.... benedryl helps but makes one sleepy..and it doesn't happen all the time so can't expect when it will or won't...just another thing to drive us all more crazier than we already are.....impossible to ignore....add it too the list...good luck...linda

I have this happen to me every once in a while.
Only it's my hands and feet.They itch so bad when i get out of the shower.
I absolutely can't stand it..I will be rubbing my feet on the rug while i'm scratchin my hands!
Then i usually have to put hydrocortisone cream on them afterwards..

Itchies here too ((Wendy)). Not all the time though.

I think I'm in a major flare right now. God I ache, and my knees throb. My hands hurt. My knees are throbbing, especially the right one that I feel on a couple weeks ago.

Ahhhhh, yes, gotta love the fibro body. Though I wonder if I have arthritis going on too.

One problem about itchies is that I don't have anybody living with me that could at least put some lotion on my back. Sigh. Wonder if I can get spray lotion. Thank god there's spray Biofreeze for when my back hurts!

I will have to see where my mom got hers..but there is a sponge like thingy with a long arm on it just for putting lotion on your back!
She has severe dry skin and has to do this everynight.
I will ask her where she got it and let you know.

Kell,
Is this what you are talking about? : http://personal-care.drleonards.com/...ator/97938.cfm

Something very similar..
Her's is soft though.I bought her the first one she had and it was like this.
Thanks so much for finding that and putting it on here.
Your a gem

I was wondering if you can tell me where you get your biofreeze?
I have seen it on ebay..but not sure if i should purchase it from there..
Everyone that i have talked to that has tried this-just loves it!

Thanks you guys.

Kell, I get mine from my massage therapist. However, I've noticed that a bunch of pharmacy type places are selling it now. For instance, we have Drug Towns here, and they sell it. I'm not sure about Walgreens. My massage therapist isn't happy about that. Supposedly it's only supposed to be sold to registered medical people, I dunno.

But I LOVE my Biofreeze. I have the rollon, spray, and tube of it. Also Tiger Balm, I always have that on hand as well.

Check out some massage therapists in your area and I bet you'll find one who sells it.

Thanks again for the advice on the lotion applicator. I'll definitely have to invest in one of those because I'd love to get some lotion on my back.

It usually works out to be much less $$ than locally.

Got the itchies again last night.....might have something to do with going off Dalmane...not sure yet. UGH! The love of a fibro body!
