Itchy without a Rash: Fibromyalgia Symptom?

I have read that one of the many symptoms of fibromyalgia is itchiness with rash. Has anyone experienced this without a rash? I have constant itching at random parts of my body, but no rash. Any med recommendations?

I take Benadryl at night because the itching is worse then. It is so bad I can’t wear socks anymore.

My rash gets on my hands/feet and face. The rest of my body will itch without rash

Yes. So much itchy. Like I don't WANT to rip my skin off but I'm less opposed to the idea. Stupid nerves also won't let me wear jeans anymore.

the only way I can wear jeans are if they are tight skinny jeans... I mean bottoms in general I have to wear tights, biker shorts, or skinny jeans to be comfortable, and underwear with them is out of the question becausethe sensation that fabric rubbing together causes is excruciating... I love to wear dresses, and I still do. But it so uncomfortable that I don't do it often.

Does anybody ever feel like you have cold water going down your leg under your foot and you look down and there's no water like you'll be standing there washing dishes or doing something and you're near water so you thinking there's something dripping down my leg I spilled it and there's nothing there's no water there's no nothing else but it feels like cold water dripping down your leg and your foot I get this all the time especially on the left side

I don't get a rash but I do get 'itchy patches' they are extremely frustrating because no matter what I do I can't get rid of them

I have fibromyalgia for many years and have rash just showing up and the disappearing dr Sid it could very easily be the gabapentin or lyrica you are on

Ok, it depends on the severity of your rashes but I'd recommend talking to a dermatologist to at least get some cream to sooth the itchiness. For me, I have fibromyalgia and eczema 🙃it got so bad where I was in the hospital constantly because the open patches were all over my body, and they never healed so I kept getting painful infections. I started taking bi weekly Dupixent Injections and I'm so much better.

I have severe itchiness on my legs. I bruise so badly from how bad I scratch. I’m thinking it’s the hydroxychloroquine, I stopped it for a while to test it out and yes, my itchiness stopped, but my lupus symptoms worsen, so I went back on it.

I heard that itchy feeling comes from taking tramadol but I’m not sure 🤔 x

Wait...... I have never heard of this as a side effect, but I'm simply itchy very frequently, and I think it's not dry skin as my issue. I take Zyrtec every night, and that takes care of the majority of the urge to itch.

Zyrtec worked for me too. Mine was worse fmduringvthe day when the wind/air caused hives on exposed area. For me, works best to split them in half and take morning and night.
