There are no quick fixes in homeopathy.
If you want relief, through homeopathy, you have to answer these questions.
Have a look. It is not difficult to answer them.

Hello,
I have the same problem as told by tkrenith. Only LEVOCET gives me relief and it is temproray. For the past year, I am taking 1 levocet tablet every 2 days and that keeps me going.
Chief Complaint - itching all over the body (starts anywhere randomly) and when scratching results in red contours same as the way you scratch it. Mostly starts at head or some place in the trunk ... sometimes even the eyes itch. No pain , no other discomfort associated with it.
The itching sensation starts any time of the day and all through out the year. no particular pattern. This started 4 years back(i can still remember the first time I noticed the red rashes) and has never happened before that.
have consulted a number of doctors , had blood tests done and tey could not find any thing specific.
please help.... i don't want to be dependent on levocet....

OK. I am trying to answer some of the questions asked by Murthy.
1. CC - itching, red rashes when scractched. No pain or other discomfort. Just irritating itching sensation all over the body. Moves from one place to other(meaning one place feels more itchier than other and the location keeps changing).
2. 4 years ago. No significant cahnges happened during that time except that I had a change of Job (one firm to another).
3. Not able to identify any particular food or other conditions which aggrevates the CC. happens all the time.
4. I was in India for all this time and has just moved to US for last 3 months. The change of environment, weather, food had no effect. The CC is as it was when I was in India.
5. My toungue is deeply parted in the middle and whitish in the middle.
6. Personal hygene is very tidy.
7. I work in IT and is glued to the laptop for most of the day and night.
8. I feel giddy and neausea if I go without a meal.
9. Pizza and any food with lot of cheese gives me bad stomach.
10. Drink a lot of coffee & water during the day. Don't drink much soda or alcohol.
11. Sound sleeper and ahve started snoring last 2 years.
12. No medications (ofcourse except Levocet)
13. I have had cysts and they were found during the same time this problem started (give or take a year). I had cysticycosis with 2 cysts (one in right chest muscle and one in right arm muscle). No operation was performed and it was treated with drugs. post treatment, the cysts were found to be dissolved.
I have tried and given specific information as much as possible. Do suggest me remedies.
Thanks much ...
