Thanks Stella Jane. I do need to go to the doctor I know. There is never a rash or redness. Tonight I cannot sleep and have come downstairs to distract myself by reading and because I am keeping my husband awake with my constant fidgeting and itching. No sooner have I scratched one itchy patch than another begins somewhere else.
I am starting to dread both bathtime and bedtime - I just want to be able to lay peacefully in bed and get to sleep!
I think it's hormones or blood. I am not on HRT, just Vagifem but am over 60 so I don't think I would be offered HRT if it was thought that hormones were to blame.
My brother, sadly, has end stage kidney disease and has cheered me up by telling me that all over itching can be one of the first signs of kidney or liver failure. Hopefully I can get blood tests that will rule those out.
