I have now been suffering from this condition for at least 8 years + it all started when I took a blanket out the cuboard which my mother had given me to put on the bed, at the time I had a friend who was staying over night. We both started itching it was as if there were fleas in the blanket. I took the blanket straight of and the next day chucked the blanked away. The next day I could still feel things tickling all over me but when I looked there was nothing there. I called pest control who fumigated the house and fumigated the house but they were still there, When the pest control first fumigated the house I thought I could see tiny white clear tear shaped things, but don’t see anything anymore. I went to the doctor who prescribed I think some kind of scabies treatment. Basically I have been to the doctors on numerous occasions and seen different doctors who say I just have to get use to it.
: I have tried everything like I said from bleaching to sprays, moving house, getting rid of clothing, bed and carpets everything! even if I stay at someone else’s house I still feel them, Friends have stayed and they say that they don’t feel them, I would say that it is my imagination apart from my current boyfriend say’s that he feels them and is not happy that he seems to of caught them off me.
: For me they are at their worst when it is cold, when it is night time and the temperature drops they become very active, I don’t feel them if I am in the bath or undressed it is more if there is clothing next to my skin. If I go out and have a drink that seems to slow them down and once the alcohol is out of my system I start to feel them once again. Everything I can do to get rid of them I have tried.
: I do worry about what they are actually doing to me are they causing any long term effects apart from of course driving me crazy + I really don’t want anyone else to catch them.
I have recently read an article of Demdex mites, the symptons sound very similar apart from I don't have any kind of Acne/ skin complaint, apart from like i said the tickling / itching feeling as if something is walking on my body.
Can you help
Thanx
