Whole body itching/twitching

The worst of my symptoms slowly shifted over the course of the last few months, having switched from mostly musculoskeletal to nerological stuff. This type of shift isn't uncommon for me, but the neuro stuff is worse than it's ever been.  Most of the stuff is familiar and I already know how to live with it, but the things I can't get a handle on this time is the itching and twitching.

It's a whole body thing, with brief little bursts of itchyness or twitches that pop up anywhere. At any given second there's probably 3-4 different places that I feel like I should scratch. The twitches are usually just a second or so (tap.... tap tap), but some of them last hours. I'll get probably a few thousand of the quick ones and maybe an average of 1-2 hours of long term ones in a normal day. I actually started recording some of the odder and more visible ones, because I'm sick of not being able to show my doctors.

The itching doesn't appear to directly respond to antihistamines, though I take them anyways in the off chance that it might still help in some way. This lead me to suspect as it was a neurological cause. I know the twitches are neuro in origin, but am I correct in attributing the itching to the same root cause?

I'm looking for something I can do at home to ease it up a bit. I don't go back to the doc for another week. I've hardly been able to sleep for the past few weeks now, primarily because these two things make it impossible to fall asleep unless I'm collapsing with exhaustion.

I've tried to get more aggressive with the skin brushing and other typical detox stuff, but it doesn't seem to make a dent. I would sleep in a vat of crisco at this point if I thought it would help...

Wow. I started getting that itching thing also.

no twitches. but the itching was my entire skin twitching.

I finally figured I was reacting to something in my house.

mold.

I went for IV OZONE therapy and it knocked it out in one session.

I am now going for more IV treatment.

I felt so calm in my whole being after that one first treatment.

Never really realized how much of a state of complete anxiety I was living in
and how the air quality really controls my entire day.

I have been sleeping in my car at night just to not expose myself to being in my house at night.

I realized the mold was keeping me awake and all kinds of gut symptoms.

If you google IV ozone there is a site that lists the doctors by state.

My first visit was $150 for origional visit and after that $120 for each treatment.

This place is 3 hours away but if I hadn't done that and gotten out of the house
I felt like i would have had permanent gut damage which is like brain damage for me.

Wwow. Do you have babesia?

I totally hear you on the caffine.

Have you ever tried the Nuvigal?

Provigal helped me a lot but now they pushing nuvigal because
Provigal is about to go generic so they are campaigning
Every doctor to push Nuvigal.

It's not like I have coffee everyday. I've only had it like 5 times. One small cup, usually mixed in with mostly hot chocolate.

*It's the only thing that I've found that actually reduces the massive amount of pain in my head

Hi guys,

I am suffering from extreme body itching / twitching where I feel there is a kind of acid piercing and bursting inside my whole body. It can be a brief little bursts of itchiness or twitches that pop up anywhere and everywhere at the same time.

I can relate very well with regular member named Spall. Can someone tell me what is wrong with me and my body as the doctors I saw in Singapore seems to not understand my problem. I am very upset as it is affecting my daily routine and at work even right now, the sparks of itch and bursting of itch or twitch is so hard on me that I need to stop to scratch it.. and the more painful ones will just go away by itself.. leaving me weak and at times I feel that I have been working so hard that my body aches and in pain.

Please HELPPPPPPPPPPP!

I, too, have been experiencing neurological systems from the Lyme co-infections after being bitten by a tick in May. I've been living with invisible twitching in my legs, tingling and numbness in my extremities, and creepy crawlies that have kept me awake at night. My doctor thinks it may be Powassin virus, but a spinal tap is how you test for this. Medication is so strong he wouldn't use it on me, he said, unless I was on my deathbed and had other symptoms.

I heard about an Herb shop in Brewster, Ma, that has a formula called Lyme 2 that has all the healing herbs from the book Healing Lyme. I talked with the owner, Stefan, and told him about my nerve twitching symptoms. He mixed some of his Lyme 2 with a formula he has "Nervine Devine" and I slept through the night for the first time since May. It calmed the twitching and nerve sensations. . I wanted to let you know about something that has helped me. I came down with Lyme Disease back in May and have been extremely sick for the last 6 months. Along with one of the co-infections came nerve twitches in my legs and numbness and tingling in my extremities, as well as the creepy crawlies. I know it’s not the same as what you have to go through, Deb, but maybe this herb mixture will help you as it has me. Mind you, I just started this for a few days but am amazed that I was able to sleep through the night 2 nights in a row!

The company is The Herb Shop in Brewster and is located inside the Snowy Owl Coffee House on Route 6A. The product is called Nervine Devine. So far, my nerves have been calmed down. I spoke with the owner and herbalist, Stefan, and he said the words “creepy crawlies” before I even said I had them. He mixed the Nervine Devine formula with the Lyme 2 formula and it’s a miracle for me so far. I also started the Terramin detox minerals, as I need it after all the meds I’ve been on.
