I hope the first blogger to this page is still able to provide advice on how he dealt with this? Like you at the time you blogged, I am searching desperately for an answer to what this feeling is and how to eradicate it. Have have absolutely the same symptoms as you described. It was actually a relief to hear someone else had this horrible sensation too which cannot really be described as 'itching'. Please please do share what, if anything, you found that helped. This sensation is making me miserable. I'm also breastfeeding a small baby, so may not be able to take certain meds. But would still grately appreciate any advice you could give. Many thanks. Shaz.
