I have recently moved to a new area and am under more stress. I started taking nutritional supplements about 5 months ago to boost my immune system. Wondering if it is possible that my nerves could be causing the itching (like hives?) but there is no welts or boils just swollen glands under the skin of my scalp and neck. Any answers would be appreciated as I do not go to the doctor unless feeling on my death bed!

Itching can also be one result of candida (yeast) overgrowth. Imbalances in the body (endocrine, immune, etc.) can assist a yeast overgrowth condition. There is basic info about this condition at www.hufa.org at the yeast link.
Don't know if yeast can cause flattening of the nails. It may be you are having a reaction to one of the supplements. You may want to find a holistic or naturalistic physician, as it may be a combination of different problems.
