Hi...
        Have you tried taking your waking temperature to assess thyroid
function as the recommended by Broda Barnes M.D.? I think this is an
important place to start.
        The itching could be an indication that you have chronic fatigue
syndrome...and that your whole glandular system needs support. I find
that melatonin and DHEA are helpful for people over forty who have
hormonal system stress. Also blue green algae.
