@gaylea1 Could any of these help you remedy night itching? Change in temperature: when you first go to bed you snuggle into bending, but body temp changes thru the night, you get somewhat overheated and start itching. Any change in laundry soap or drying method: a new formula in soap, or change in machine/dryer sheet/fresh air vs dryer. Changeup in diet before bed: weather changing so you have a cuppa something warm, which makes you feel good at the onset but warms your internal temp up too much a bit later. Lotion has helped me.

@gingerw no I haven't changed any soap or detergents. I lie straight out to sleep but the itching starts as soon as I lay down. Any covers seem to make the itching worse. Even pyjamas touching my skin can start the itch. I wear nightgown to keep my legs free. I only drink water so it's not that. I am just out of options. I can't wait for the surgery!

@gaylea1 @gingerw Laundry detergent could definitely be the culprit. I changed once and my husband was terribly itchy from what I changed to. I had forgotten all about that. I only buy the ones that are unscented and for sensitive skin now.
