Headcold but now itching all over

[FunkyGlassSlipper]

I've had a severe headcold all week. The worst I've had for years to be honest. The other day my legs felt like jelly but I figured I was just tired. Last night I had 'restless legs' all night and this morning my legs are itching all over. I have a slight rash on my ankles but not on my thighs which also itch.

Is this just viral? If so, what can I do as it is driving me insane?

Thanks FioFio. I've been to the GP this morning. He said it was very odd and he couldnt think why I'd be itching. He's suggested I take antihistamines to see if it stops the itching.

Ooo FGS, poor you

Have you tried Zyrtec? Piriton at night for a knock-out effect?? Hopefully its POST viral and you will be feeling lots better soon, but if it gets worse I'd get back to the GP.

No ideas but hugs to you FGS, take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon.

Thanks - GP recommended zyrtec for day and piriton at night. Itching seems to have subsided a but so think it has had an effect already.
