So, I see her again in 2 weeks. I do not know what the plan of action is at that time, but I am hoping for some answers and a course of some treatment. Anything at this point has to be better than this.

Today tried to do a little gardening.. which apparently was a very bad idea. After 20 minutes my entire body felt like it was vibrating from all the spasms/twitching. This was several hours ago and I'm still not "right". I am also extremely itchy with that crawly feeling. It is to the point if I don't stop myself I would/do break the skin.

Does anybody have a good solution for the itchiness? Normal 'dry skin' solutions aren't helping. I had hopes that a cool shower, lotions, lighter clothes... something like that would help but it's not.
