What Causes Itching All Over The Body With Numbness Of The Foot Sole?

I have extreme itchiness over my entire body as well as slight numbness on the bottom of my left foot. This has been going on for like 8 months. Also, at that time my bladder started to have problems and they think it s IC maybe related to menopause. Do you think it could be related all to MS?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Itching, could be due to menstrual symptoms because in menopause ESTROGEN, which is an oil producing hormone on the skin starts decreasing and leads to dryness of skin.
Try
-plenty of water to hydration
-use moisturizer
-cold water bath
-avoid sun
it will start decreasing if it is due to menopause.

If not it may be due high bilirubin level(jaundice), can be ruled out by LIVER FUNCTION TEST.
If you have rash like thing along with itching use LEVOCETRIZINE 5MG.

About your numbness in your left foot, use NEUROBION tablet. Check your BLOOD SUGAR levels to rule out DIABETIC NEUROPATHY.
Get a detail blood examination and consult a PHYSICIAN.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
