itchy and scratchy

Post Reply New Topic

I’ve noticed (and made the connection this year) between certain symptoms I’ve been getting for decades that also link to others, without the insight I seem to have. For instance I have very itchy skin at the moment, which seemed to start at the hips and buttocks and moved down to the shins and now my ankles. I’ve heard people complain that they think this is down to washing powder and sensitivity to it in some people more than others (Those on the autistic spectrum and possibly others for instance).

I also noticed with the advent of Spring that certain aches and pains have resurfaced, similar to those described by people who claim to be able tell a change in the weather for the worse (atmospheric pressure? Change in dampness amount in the air?): Like the scene in Alien where the face huggers progeny bursts out of John Hurt's chest, the pain of growth (birth), can be as bad as the pain of injury. Coupled with this I noted a feeling of frustration with my body (sloth?) and increased production in one’s and two’s department, culminating in release of this and return to normal flow, topped with a migraine (damming of energy / material as with frozen river and Spring melt): I’ve suffered with these headaches for years but never until now associated them with the seasons.

All of this I think indicates that the bodies of human and animals, react to climate change, in the same way that plants do. The latter can’t tell us why they are reacting as they do or even what they are reacting to but maybe our reactions can tell us what is going on with them too. I remember a weatherman on TV saying that the animals had been caught out one year, by a sudden unexpected flurry of snow, whereas I believe that they were reacting to the lengthening of the days (as plants do) and not the cold spell.

Dunno. I get itchy in winter because my skin gets dry. It helps to shower less.

lol don't shower less use lotion and, or aloe vera

Itchy and Scratchy???! OMG I LUUUVS da SImpsunz!!

Lol at first I thought you meant Itchy and Scratchy from the Simpsons.
I found that since I started bathing or showering every second day my skin is less dry and itchy especially in winter. I used to bathe every day but stopped because "they" want us all to be complete germaphobes and, ironically, make us LESS resistant to germs and bacteria by being TOO clean. If my skin is too rough or dry I put on some of this clear aloe lotion I bought but that's about it. I also read that water that's too hot can also dry your skin, although it's hard to resist when you've been out walking around on a cold day.
