@mollymm I had a cold just before Christmas, my husband did too and he had been with a friend who tested positive a couple of days later, nor my husband or I got tested. My itching started right when I first had symptoms of my cold, I thought it was flees, I experience it before, but I got no bumps, no nothing. My skin now takes turns on where to itch. Lower legs and feet mostly, but also inside of my elbows, fingers, toes and sometimes my head. I live in a very dry climate, so I lather myself with cerave cream and I still itch. Maybe I did have COVID and I am experiencing long COVID? But, I read another post of a woman who realized that it was stress. I experienced a case of sudden deafness less than 24 hs. after I got my last booster combined with the flu shot, that was in late October, I woke up after a nap and I was deaf, so who really knows what caused what. I am now a candidate for Cochlear implant. So it could be stressed as well. I am not feeling well today at all, now my legs are aching all over and I can hardly go up the stairs. Any ideas from anybody? I am a sister and daughter of physicians and they hate when I go on line to look to be diagnosed! LOL
