Hi everybody,
I recently moved to a new apartment. A few weeks later, I started itching like crazy. There's nothing to see on my skin- no welts, not turning red. I just itch. I'm so itchy it's hard to sleep- on top of the usual hard to sleep.
But what could be causing it?! This is a reaction I've had before when something touches my skin that doesn't agree with me. This thing is, I can't figure out what it might be. I don't switch up my bath products or laundry detergent. This apartment has a shared laundry room, so i guess it could be that, but my last apartment did too. I'm not anxious to spend the quarters to prewash the machines to get out other people's detergent. And what would be the point in going to a laundromat, even if I had the energy? Could I be allergic to the carpet? I do lie on the floor, of course.
Any ides would be helpful.
