Strange Medical Symptoms persist. Continual itching. Any advice?

[Irminsül]

For some reason you quickly ruled out the scabies option. I don't know how you came to that conclusion because literally all the points you are describing match that condition.
I advise you not to be guided by the photos you see on the internet. The bumps are small at first. I know this because, unfortunately, a couple of years ago I contracted scabies from hugging a relative who had that problem (neither she nor I knew at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have hugged her haha).
When I identified that I clearly had scabies, I went to the doctor and they prescribed me ivermectin. I also had to wash all my clothes at a certain temperature. I was cured but the whole process was very cumbersome.
I would tell you not to rule out having the same problem before having checked that it really is not the case.

Thanks again everyone. At this point, I really dont think its scabies, no symptoms until night time. no visuals anywhere on my body at any time . just doesnt add up unless there is a form that does not show any symptoms at all?
Wifi related somehow speaks to me. But even that not sure

Im beginning Ivermectin today and will see what happens. 3 mg tab twice a day?? we shall see.

THIS SEEMS ACCURATE / Formacation

https://www.healthline.com/health/formication

If you feel like something is crawling on your skin without a physical cause, you may be experiencing a tactile hallucination. Certain health conditions, medications, and drugs may cause it.

What is formication?

Formication is the feeling of insects crawling across or underneath your skin. The name comes from the Latin word “formica,”which means ant.

Formication is known as a type of paresthesia. Paresthesia happen when you feel sensations on your skin that don’t have a physical cause. Paresthesia can take many forms. These can include burning, tingling, or numbness. With formication, you might also describe the “crawling” sensation as feeling like “pins and needles.” Formication is also called a tactile hallucination. This means that you’re feeling a sensation that has no physical cause.

Formication can be a symptom of several conditions. These conditions include fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s disease. Withdrawal from alcohol or drug use can also trigger formication.

I’m half way through an Ivermectin protocol. I use the paste in a tube. It’s one application a day which is about 1/2” (1.25 cm). One complete treatment equals 6 days. Dr. Lee Merritt suggests 3 days on and 4 days off and repeat the second round. She also uses MMS to rid the dying parasites on the days off. Dr. Merritt treats herself every new and full moon. I don't have a set schedule. It comes out to about 2-3 times a year.

Here are a few of my notes:

Dr. Merritt recommends a parasite rotation protocol with such products as Ivermectin, Fenbendazole (benzimidazole anthelmintic) and MMS because there are different parasite treatments for specific parasites. (IIRC There was one more example mentioned.)

Dr. Lee Merritt DOES NOT recommend medicines that you pour on. For instance, pour on the skin of a hog because the medical complex adds other things to make it go through the hogs thick hide. Also do not purchase a knock off brand from China. Amazon or a tractor supply store provides these animal meds. (Ivermectin)

Hope you find the answer soon, Doug.

Ants crawling underneath the skin. That's how I've explained the sensation I get when I've eaten or come in contact with things I'm allergic to, such as mold, mildew, certain grasses, eggs. Also those healthy green juice powders have ingredients that make me itch big time.
................

I've also recently figured out that I get the crawly itch with some incense sticks and essential oils used for aromatherapy. I'm grateful to have figured it out. It's my understanding that as I heal my body, many of the above culprits will no longer be a problem. I'm in my fourth month of doing an elimination diet and can now eat eggs.

Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most
Chronic Disease - and How to Fight It
by Benjamin Bikman, 2021

Summary
4.8 out of 5 (3,851 ratings)

A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a common root cause—insulin resistance—and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it.

We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common.

Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do—over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind.

In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.

Doug,

Because I have worked in the care industry for 3 decades and am, very much not to my delight, familiar with BUGS of all kinds ( including scabies, bed bugs, etc.. ), what you've said about your symptoms principally coming on at nighttime jumps out at me- notably in relation to mite-type bugs. Irminsul is correct, scabies is not often not seen for quite some time after contracting it - but it generally comes up under the nails, in the webs of the fingers and/or toes, in any bend, such as the crooks of the arms, behind the knees, groin and underarms. This said, surely after a whole year it would be very noticeable indeed. THIS SAID, some people are less 'alergic' to certain types of bites then some others. Some might get the itching but not visible bites, and/or vice versa. This can particularly be true with bed bugs ( something that, living in Los Angels for 12 years [bedbug capital of the world] I became very familiar with ) <-- also a large reason for my departure 5-6 years ago. Bed bugs, once they move in, find homes EVERYWHERE. Your body may get the creepy crawlies anytime you put yourself near them. Just to rule it out, have you taken your bed apart and thoroughly inspected it? the whole thing including the frame? Although after a year, if this were the problem, they would surely have made homes of more than just the bed, the bed itself surely would not be left out. I hope to high heaven this is not what the problem is, BB's can not be won against, a person literally has to move and get rid near everything they have (something I know from experience). I'd take scabies any day of the week -especially if caught early. I used to work in group care when I first entered the care industry, very common for residents to contract it after hospital stays, and the entire home, all residents and staff would have to be treated. It was almost a regular thing, twice annually (ack). - but at least it is just a topical treatment and you're done.

I sure hope you get this thing figured out soon.

Itching is no small matter, and loss of sleep is probably the most debilitating thing anyone can experience.

I'll be checking in here for any more reports from you.

Hi Doug, did you take the vaccines? People have had all sorts of strange issues since the jabs. If so, you need to detox. I think a good start is Invermectin/Fenandazole. If there is no effect, use MMS. My friend who took the Chinese Sinovac jabs (yes, the Chinese vaccines were no better) was very weak when I met her 6 months ago, with insomnia, lack of appetite, itchy all over the body. Now these symptoms are all gone with the above medications.

If I might speak for him, no, he didn't take those, (along with most of us gathered here).

It takes a good deal for me to go to a doctor. I first turn over every stone, research and experiment , and eventually I figure it out. But so far , I cannot.

I have itching every night. No visible symptoms, no rash , nothing on the skin, its more right under the skin and primarily under arms, groin and back

It feels like microscopic bugs are crawling on me. It feels like a spider web falls over my face. So delicate, but it makes me scratch and rub my face. Then an itch on the scalp, then here than there.

Then under my arms, then groin, then on my back in a round robin that is disturbing my sleep.

Its well over a year this is happening and I have tried looking at supplements or the excess of , soy , sugar, nuts, peanut butter, candida, even popcorn I make with coconut oil on an almost nightly basis .
i have thought of wi fi as well.

I have recently changed laundry detergent to something free of chems in it.

I thought that solved it, but it continues. It ruins sleep. I usually get 4 to 5 hours tops broken up through the night, always waking at 3 am. Never fails. Then i need to fall back.

Add to this, occasional jabs in the feet, like an ice pic, electrical, so strange, only at night, only in bed and during the day it all subsides.

I have thought of the bio electrical field, what Sabrina Williams talks about. It not easy to fully grasp, but there are bio electrical fields that they can read and track. Been going on since the 70ies.


any thoughts friends ?
pd

I cannot recall exactly, but I believe it was Dr Lee Merritt who described something very much like what you describe, but she described the sensation as like ants walking on or under the skin. Who ever it was, and I believe it was Merritt or someone in an interview with her, believe based on their research, that it is parasites. If so, the solution they agreed upon was to treat for parasites.

For what it’s worth.

Doug,
Here is a link to an article covering possible causes of itching without a rash:
8 causes of itchy skin without a rash

Sometimes a nutritional deficiency could be the cause. I remember having itchy skin years ago, before I started taking any vitamins. It resolved at that time, simply by my taking a good multi-vitamin. I also have heard that an excess of certain vitamins can also cause an itch. That usually is resolved simply by stopping a particular supplement that is not needed.

Hi Doug

Im largely undiagnosed, even after more than 7 yrs of testing.

They do know i have small fiber neuropathy and large fiber neuropathy, and your symptoms match mine.

I live with "burning" and "stinging" all over but mainly feet hands head and face.
Its like sunburn.
Then i get these random strong pricks, like someone sticking a pin in me and happens everywhere on my body.

You mentioned having feelings like a bug crawling across your skin, i get this every day, its because of "Fasciculations"(spelling?), and feels like some spider/bug crawling under or on top of your skin, i have a video of fasciculations in my legs, mainly calf muscles, ill try post this vid for you, .

That looks like when I get leg cramps. I'm not suggesting that's what you have. I use Hi-Lyte mineral drops which is an electrolyte supplement. Drinking more water with a pinch of REDMOND Real Sea Salt also helps. Strenuous exercise without time for muscle recovery is another cause for leg cramps.

running deer/ im taking the ivermectin on speculation. A 3mg tab morning and night. Where are you buying the Ivermectin. Im sorry if you already posted it??

No vaccines!

the feeling of a bug is so subtle. like a hair slipping down my face which then causes me to try to brush it off or itch it.

thanks Sue, will look at the link

t y all

I had bed bugs 5 years ago from allowing someone in my house I shouldnt have. Thats me, Mr Liberal lol When it come to treating people. Was beyond a nightmare, cost me well over $1000 to get rid of. So in NOOO way these are bed bugs.

RRR, I get on calf muscle cramp and tremor, usually after playing ice hockey and not enough electrolytes.

Im going to give the Ivermectin a week or two. maybe it will hit the mark in some way.

The reason I thought of scabies is because a friend had itching (severe at night) and no rash. She had a skin scraping, I think, that diagnosed the scabies. Ozone treatment of belongings may be helpful but laundering all cloth related items is important.

Symptoms take a few days to weeks to resolve. Since you are entertaining the idea of ivermectin, here is an article you (and others) might like to read.....

Dr. Group (drgroup.com) takes Ivermectin once or twice a week for maintenance. He goes on to say purchase the animal paste: Ivermectin Paste (apple flavored). It’s the safest because you don’t know what’s in the capsules. He recommends a half inch of the gel once or twice a week for maintenance because we’re being attack with parasites.

Two other products he suggests as part of the protocol are: Paratrex which eliminates/cleanses the toxic & harmful organisms in stomach and intestinal track & Oxy-Power which I forgot to mention that I take Oxy-Power on the third day for both rounds of Ivermectin.

Dr. Group of Global Healing also sells these products on Amazon.

BTW: The 5 Docs of Critical Thinking agree with his POV about Ivermectin.

Doug, anything new in your B vitamin protocol? Vitamin B-12 and Niacin (B-3) can cause prickly and itchy skin. (As an aside, there are new forms of B-1 (thiamine) and B-6 that are far superior to the 'old' ones: Benfotiamine is your new B1, and P-5-P is your new B6.) You might try mega-dosing benfotiamine for a while - it's supposed to help with neuropathy.

If it's happening only at night, then I'd think about what body chemistry normally changes in our day/night cycle. Like melatonin and cortisol.

The "electric ice pick" sounds like a nerve issue in your feet. I suspect most Americanos that are not on a carnivore diet are pre-diabetic - we eat about a trillion pounds of sugar and hidden sugar (starch, carbs). With diabetic leg issues, peripheral neuropathy is typical, and it can be numbness or surprise ice pick electrical stabs, or both.

[ The leg nerves are the longest in the body, and the first to start to de-myelinate and fail. If you try to solve the nerve issue directly, (like with lion's mane mushroom powder), you'll find little relief. If this is an issue, you have to repair the circulatory system first, specifically the capillaries that feed the leg nerves. Dr. Gundry reports that another piece of the issue is that many plants contain compounds to try to stop insects from eating them. Many of those are "lectins", which are undigestable proteins that are also physically damaging to the gut lining or other tissues, and if they escape into the blood stream (via "leaky gut") then those nasty lectin proteins are free to roam around and cause damage. Worse, lectin molecules are attracted to glucose molecules. Excess sugar in the blood is problematic, damaging, kinda caustic - but add lectins to the glucose and you're sending a ninja squad down to your capillaries to do big damage.

A strict carnivore diet has almost no lectins (egg whites do contain some.) Millet and sorghum are the only 2 grains that don't have lectins (but of course, they are carbs. I mention those grains because I didn't know any better and thought I was eating a neutral diet when consuming just brown rice or oats (both of which contain lectins.) ]

Cold plunge shock is supposed to help with nerve repair - if you've got the cajones to do it (of course, guys with cajones hit that ice water and instantly have something closer to ovaries!) Maybe ending a warm shower with some cold water is more doable (for cold wimps like me.)

Aloe vera is a miracle substance for many skin issues - if this is a skin issue (though it sounds like a nerve issue.) If it doesn't help, it certainly won't hurt.

A day or two of a water fast might help clean out some gunk, but then, you're having trouble sleeping, and the sleep cycle is where autophagy occurs.

An epsom salt soak would get magnesium into your skin, and into your body. Along with your daily vitamins D-3 and K-2, make sure you are also taking magnesium (like 500mg minimum, Mg glycinate or bisglycinate.)

Hope something helps!
