I have this severe itch that has lasted a few months off and on which starts at the top of my head and goes to my feet. I see no rash except I do see some little red dots or little red bumps in the palms of my hands.Sometimes I feel as though something is crawling on me or sometimes I feel as though I cannot keep my arms and legs still. I cannot sleep because of this. It is worse at night but I do occassionally have it during the day (like right now). it's the kind of itch that you scratch but cannot ever relieve. I have tried everything.....creams, moisterizers...bath and body stuff....sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes it worse. I also itch up my butt and up my front ears..everywere. The itching feels like a prickley itch and feels like i have a very mild sunburn. I just don't know what to do about this or even what this is. I just know that I need to get some sleep! Please help me.it gets so much worse after drinking alcohol,i have had liver tested & it's fine! help please!!!

Stress can often lead to a condition of hyper-histamine in the blood. You literally become allergic to yourself. Alcohol and sleep deprivation aggravate this condition. See your doctor for treatment - he will give you something to block and/or neutralize the histamine.

I would seriously advise you to visit your doctor immediately.
My daughter had similar problems and was diagnosed as suffering from Kawasaki syndrome. THIS CAN LEAD TO SUDDEN DEATH BY HEART FAILURE. Not all doctors are familiar with this condition. YOU NEED IMMEDIATE TREATMENT if this is your problem.

the fact that it is worse after drinking make me suspect liver or kidney involvement.
see a doctor asap.

have you had a kidney function test..............you seem a little to old for Kawasaki syndrome. but kidney failure can cause whole body itch and headaches and other symptoms, is your skin a little darker than you would expect.
