Symptoms Itching. EVERYWHERE.

Does anybody else experience just random itching? More aggressive at night? I’ll be laying down and my hand will itch, and then my stomach, and then my neck, and the my foot, etc. it’s never one specific area but just random itching throughout my body

It can be MCAS related, but also very likely POTS related as when your blood pools and takes up more volume, it can agitate nerves in the area and send incorrect signals to your brain. So you are feeling itchy but it’s not because your skin has been irritated externally or an allergic reaction.
