[bairdy]

hi folks
i woke myself up last night at 2am with intense itching.. right ankle,groin area, and chest to the extent i have broke the skin on my ankle.
i know i felt warm as i had been so wrapped up in my quilt i was sweating lol and as i went to the toilet i was so dizzy and off balnce !! it took fifteen mins to cool down but then stopped itching and felt a lot better
i think it was due to overheating ????
any thoughts
regards bairdy

Sorry so late in replying but yes, this has happened to me as well.  Body temp regulation problem. Lot of itching.  Getting too hot can make it worst. You are not alone!

Yep, the most frustrating thing waking up in the wee hours itching like crazy. And it does seem to be worse when I'm hot. Also one of those pending diagnosis, but evidently this is something plenty of us are having :)

HTH- My internal thermostat is also broken. I can be hot and then freezing and then sweating all in the span of a few minutes. Don't know if this is related either but hope it helps.

i get this a lot. multiple times a week, anyway. been going on at least 6 mos, likely longer.

frequently associated with heat, often when i wake up sweaty.

i went thru menopause quite early, before i hit 45 i started. this isn't anything like it.

hope its not thread drift but my thermostat is way messed up too :) i freeze all winter, n kidding i spent many a night at work wearing long underwear under my scrub, sweatshirt, with a fleece throw on my lap and another on my shoulders. while my partner sitting next to me has two small personal fans going to try to cool her off.

whats really weird is i can be literally shivering, and then start to sweat like a horse. i may or may not then start to feel warm. if i do feel warm and de-layer, shortly after i take off the sweatshirt the chills start again.

i'd venture a guess the worst of the itching is associated with the really bad days like that.worst of it stopped early april and didnt need the long johns anymore. sweatshirt still goes on and off. a hot bath can start the itching and make it and other things worse.

my doc gave me hydroxyzine 25 mg caps. does make me a bit sleepy. so i take one every bedtime. i think its helped.

I have had this happen about 2 weeks ago. I woke up with severe itching on both my legs and I was also hot. I think any elevation in body temp can cause this. I have not been diagnosed with MS, but certainly have a lot of symptoms.
