Hi,

Can some people please describe their NHL or HL "Itch"? Was it only at a certain time of day, was it a light tingle itch or more of a deep under the skin itch? Was it all over the body?

Any other details about it would be good also,

Thanks..

Hi LukeM46

I take it you are very itchy? I assume you have spoken to your doctor about this. Don't worry you will soon know one way or the other what is going on. Write down all your symptoms and mention it all to the hematologist when you see them in October. If the itch becomes unbearable go back to the GP as there may be something he could do for you right now.

Good luck mate and try and relax a bit, I know its hard, but I do think it is very important.

I wouldnt say I am very itch, but I am noticing some kind of itch on my legs, especially at night..

It is kind of a light tickle not sure if it's in my head or not..
