Someone please help- mysterious itching sensation with no explanation - YET!

[witsend]

Hi, everyone out there, please help!!

Over a year ago, my ex-fiance and I started to feel like bugs crawling on our body. We first thought we had ticks, fleas, bed bugs etc etc. But we checked everything we could with doctors, onlilne...but nothing came up. Then we thought back the timing and remembered our landlord cleaned the carpet stain with some chemicals so maybe we were allergic to that. But the weird thing is: it's been a year and we have gone our separate ways, we still feel it occasionally. And the last time it happened to me was when I vistied my folks in Asia and I was using my mom's computer. I started to feel those "phantom bugs" again! And now that I had those sensation from my folks' place, I start feeling it again at my place (I am living on my own now). No one ever visited us feels those bugs. So it's not really bugs that will infest other people either. We are totally at our witsend not knowing how we can stop this suffering. Any ideas? It seems the common denominators are: using computer for a while, sitting on a leather chair, under the chair it's dark. But once I have it from the desk, I sometimes feel it too when I am sitting on my couch; even in my bed. But when I am out and about, I don't feel anything. Neither does he. If we are carrying the bugs with us, how come we dont' feel it outside of home? and how come those bugs don't crawl on other people? We really dont' think it's bugs. We just have no idea what it is. Could you help?

my mother has been complaining of the same thing for over a year now. she says the itching is enough to make her mad. she has been yousing the anti-allergen laundry soap, scent free lotion and other annoying expensive stuff. for a while the doctors thought she had Scabies( a horrible little parasite that lives under your skin) now they are considering psoriasis. i still don't think so but we have yet to make any conclusions. have you considered parasites?

if you find out anything you should message me.

wow! No, I never thought about that...does your mom or your mom's doctor have something in mind that works that way? I will see what I can dig out from my end. But if you know anything, please keep me posted too! THANKS! Even though I am not any closer to finding the truth yet, but at least I am not the only one going crazy about this phantom bug! (other than my ex-fiance)
