LOL!! Your imaginary friend is an Ardvark??

Oh me and my tiny buggles... I have this problem all too often, it feels like I have invisible flees. And to make matters worse, we brought home bed bugs a year ago from charity work an I was really getting bitten! So now I am so paranoid. Sometimes I also get a sensation of itchy fat..it is like underneath my skin on my thighs usually starts to ich and it is so bad i bruise my skin scratching. Taking an antihistamine helps when this happens.

Also, using pure coconut oil as moisturizer stops the tiny buggles for me most of the time, but not on my head.

So you are not alone, and it is a nerve thing not real bugs (usually).
I hope this helps.

Try Benadryl? 25mg every night? My skin became alive when I had morphine type drugs post surgery. Benadryl shot in my i.v. stopped it in minutes.

I've not tried medication for two reasons: I tend to have some unconventional reactions to meds, and it doesn't happen very often Well, often enough! Maybe I'll ask my doc about benadryl, or try one of the others suggested.

Sometimes I scratch myself until I bleed. I need to wear mittens or something.

Benadryl is over the counter. 25mg. Makes you sleepy so take it at night and you'll sleep. It's the ingredient in p.m. versions of Advil ect.

Somewhat glad I'm not alone on the invisible bugs phenomenon. First noticed it when Spring hit and I could wear shorts. I put long pants on and it's not an issue.
At any rate; I hope you all find quick remedies to it.

guess no one is taking lightly the saying, nighty nite dont let the bedbugs bite lol!

Yeah, bed bugs aren't as funny as they were back in the day, huh?
