They're deep down inside my foot, not on the surface, and they're never in the same place twice. Does anyone else have this problem, and could it be related to neuropathy? And what makes it STOP???
Happens all the time with me and smetimes on my scalp, too. This may sound weird, but aspirin is the only thing that helps. I found out by accident one night. I woke with the itch on the ball of one foot about to drive me batty. I had forgotten to take a couple of my pills that I normally take at bedtime, so took them and 2 aspirin. I thought the aspirin would relieve the headache I also had. About 15 minutes later the itch was gone. I tried aspirin the next time, just because and figured it couldn't hurt. Now I do it everytime, and it always works. I have to take an aspirin everyday anyway. It also seems to lessen neuropahy somewhat.

I got music runnin' in my head,
Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'......
I got music runnin' in my brain,
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.
Canta libre, Canta la vida,
siempre conmigo, canta libre...
