Itchy&Scratchy

[SandyR]

Oh I do! Especially when the weather changes, or I spend too much time in the sun, or I eat something with lactose (I am lactose intolerant) or I am tired or flaring or pretty much all the time it seems. It can be so embarrasing and socially awkward to be so itchy all the time.

I get itchy patches that come and go at will, I can't say that it is always in one spot because it creeps up in different spot at times, legs, arms, hands, fingers,feet, everywhere. After I notice that I am starting to scratch I will put cortisone cream on it, that helps greatly. I get the little pimple like bumps all over here and there, irritating but no big deal, however sometimes if there in a spot where my close rub it feels like I have like a little sliver in the spot, that drives me nuts Interesting though my new reumy told me it was not lupus however my old reumy said yes, I never used to have this problem before so I have to lean toward the yes it is Lupus answer.

Wow, so glad I randomly read this thread, I have been getting these little bumps that I thought were bug bites because they itched so bad (and I am very susceptible to itching when I get bit) but they wouldn't go away and would turn in to dry scaly circle. Thanks Saysusie for the info!
