severe itching and burning in both ankles and both forearms

have had severe itchs and burning in lower legs and forearms.it is so bad that i can't stop scratching when it hits...take xanax for anxiety, lyrica to try and control pain, lasix for adema(I also have poor venal return)...have had major allergy testing at Mayo (Scottsdale) MOstly maginal results with topical creams and ointments..No diagnosis yet after almost a year of this situation..every doctor that has looked cannot seem to put all the factors together and come up with aname for my condition, much less sucessfully treat it.....also have chronic severe and dibilitating jabbing pains in the area of my lower legs where the burning is...there is some thought that this might possibly be a neuropathy...have had xtensive blood work done,allegry tests,etc.

I have the same symptoms which began soon after starting on Advair and Prozac, both of which have information about this as a possible side effect.
