Calves itchy: Causes or Coincidence?

[massagefanrx]

I've noticed that since my twitches have slowed down in my calves(not gone but much less) which I'm attributing to either 1) alpha lipoic acid 2) calcium, mag & zinz 3) reiki or 4) conincidence...I've developed the wicked itchies in my calves right - they almost feel sensitive on the skin at times and then at other times I just want to scratch like a baboon all day long. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it over the non-stop twitching anyday but was wondering if anyone else had itching too?

Absolutely. For the past month or two, I’ve barely been twitching (like 50 twitches a day instead of 1000) and have had no muscle aches. But lately the tops of my forearms are itching like crazy on and off throughout the day. Scratching like a baboon is a good description. I’ve tried taking my wife’s zyrtec (works for her itching) but it didn’t really help. I had this when it first started, and it lasted about 2 months.

I itch like crazy on my legs. I actually scratch until I cut myself with my nails. It comes and goes. My friend thinks I totally have thyroid problems and I have read where it can cause itching. I have had blood work done and one part of my thyroid came back low or high (I can't remember) but they said it was nothing worth treating. Who knows!
