A member asked:

I regularly have what i call itching attacks where i itch uncontrollably and it alsi prevents me from working anf sleeping and its all over please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities: Possible causes are way too numerous to list here, but the first thing i would do is stop any non-essential medications. If the itching persists, you should see your doctor for a thorough exam.
