I am running search mode in my brain, trying to remember something similar. I used to do all transcription for a brilliant allergist/immunologist out of the Northeast. He was top of his game. I know this is probably been done, but have you ruled out the invisible bed bugs and mites? I know, but its a huge problem and most often invisible til its a disaster. I am allergic to the world, but don't have anything like that. Many meds will make me itch and only at night while sleeping. I won't itch first and then sleep. I go to sleep and then wake up itching. That I believe points to liver issues, but its being caused by meds. I am allergic to ibuprofen, but that allergy took a long time building to full anaphylaxis, with just these itching episodes at night. And I had not taken the Motrin before bed, rather hours earlier. It had no correlation with dose, just going to sleep. Are you on any meds at all? Generic versus name brands? I can only take name brand meds, as generics use completely different fillers, and some drugs can be 90% filler to make the actual pill. My doctor and I had to work for years to find out which fillers I cannot tolerate, and its basically any, and I know to stay away from generics, particularly a brand Watson. The fillers can cause intense itching allergies, while if you look the drug up on a site, itching will never be listed as a side effect, but it is the side effect from the filler allergy. Hope this makes sense and might help. There is also some other syndrome that exhibits itself with itching during sleep, and I cannot remember it now for the life of me. If I think of it, I'll post. Of course, if you itch all the time, I've been no help. But again, when one is alllergic to the world since childhood, one gets good at identifying those pesky triggers. Good luck to you! |
