I’m going to tell y’all a little something weird that has been happening to me. Ok, technically the situation itself isn’t that weird, but my discoveries are a little on the odd side if you ask me. Then again, some people would say that I’m odd, so I guess it would be appropriate.
About a month ago, I noticed that my lower legs (below my knees) started itching quite a bit. I thought at first that it was eczema, and I started using some cream that my doctor gave me last year for the same thing. I’ve had this two or three other times and it’s always in the same place. I generally start with using lotion to see if that helps, and if it doesn’t I move to this cream, which generally helps. This time, it didn’t help. I noticed though, that it only itched during the night, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why.
Now I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think it’s my PJ’s. I have flannel ones that I’ve been wearing, and some others that are really big and fluffy. I have several pairs of each because they are so soft and cozy, not to mention warm. I finally resorted to using Caladryl and last night I slept in my thermal pants. I didn’t itch. Now, could it be the Caladryl that helped, or is it my pjs? I really don’t want to be allergic to my pjs, but it does seem suspicious.
