Crap. After being lucky for months with a cast on, I finally got a pretty bad itch in/on my right foot. I have been using a long metal chopstick to reach into my cast, mainly to provide a cooling sensation, but also to reach itchy spots. The location feels like it is on the top of the foot, near where it joins to the ankle.
Even though the cast is fairly tight around the foot, as compared to being loose around the calf, I felt like I was able to reach the location with my chopstick from several directions. The front of the cast is open, so my toes are exposed. However, due to neuropathy, I do not feel any effect of the chopstick on my itchy spot. It sucks because it started itching after I fell asleep this morning, and now it is 5:30 am, I cannot fall asleep again.

Ugh. The itch is making my panic attack symptoms worse. I woke up sweating under the comforter, but I feel really cold on my back and face.

It is also more difficult to breathe too. I hate this.
