@ryniceal You haven't changed detergents or fabric softeners, I presume? That is the only thing I can think of, although others have skin problems from things like some tiny parasites.
What has your doctor said? I hope it's something that can easily be solved.

Nope. I didnt change anything. Haven't eaten anything differently. I saw my doc first thing this morning. She did bloodwork which I will get the results back either tomorrow or Monday. She also gave me a steroid shot. I have a script for prednisone that I am to take for 10 days starting tomorrow.

Tonight will be day SIX. Not as much as usual but still significantly uncomfortable. Just on my chest.

I keep thinking it could be something that I am allergic to but the thing that baffles me.. as well as my primary... is the fact that it only happens at night. Almost every 24 hours like clockwork.

I have a referral for an allergist. They were closed by the time I called but hopefully I can get an appt for next week. This is really frustrating. I know many people have far more serious things going on so I try not to complain... but I am MISERABLE at night. 🙁
