I took benedryl last night after a hot soapy shower and that seemed to help. So I changed my sheets, too. (Slept home last night but night before at boyfriend's and he washed his sheets, too. I use "free" laundry soap and no fabric softener...) But now its back. Ugh! Is this really tiny bugs- had it before in the past budistant past- or is this a hallucination??
Well, if you can't see anything on your skin, and feel it in your teeth, I'd say it's probably not a skin rash or anything. It might be a nerve thing, so I'd go to a general practitioner just to get yourself checked out. It's tough when you can't trust yourself to know for sure, so a professional's opinion is in order if it doesn't stop.

Even if it does stop, I'd go to your T or Pdoc and tell them so that they can determine if it's prodromal of a manic or depressive phase. Best to make sure. Any other symptoms indicative of Bipolar, or just that one right now? Take care.
