allergies or something else

I posted last year about the horrible itching on my palms and soles of my feet.  No I haven't had time to get it checked out.  I need to go in for fasting blood work.  I have a slightly elevated liver enzyme, but my doctor assures me that if it were my liver these incidents would happen more often.  The last one woke me up from sleep at midnight.  I thought maybe it was stress so I took one of my husbands muscle relaxers and keep my mind busy till I fell asleep.  Anytime I start to feel tingly in my palms I try to relax and practice some deep breathing.  I'm not sure if it helps or not.  I think it does.  So that's where I am at with that.  I feel so guilty taking time for my self to do anything even doctor appointments that I often put them off.  I know I shouldn't and this is important to have checked out, but so is everything else.  I learned the hard way not to put the dentist off. LOL

Allergies or something else???

Every once in a while I have this horrible experience my palms and soles itch like crazy.  I also feel very sick when it happens.  Usually it starts with me feeling sick to my stomach and having abdominal cramps then out of no where the itching starts and it drives me insane.  I have taken a hot shower every time.  I don't know if it actually helps or just distracts me.  The episodes last for a couple hours.  Almost bad enough to send me to the emergency room, but my copay is 200.00 {I'm not paying that unless I'm worried i might die}.  Especially for the type of care you usually get in the er, but you get my point.  I have no idea what it could be.  I doubt allergies since I have had all the same things on other days and had no reaction.   It has happened 4 times in the last 6 months.  It just freaks me out because its odd, and EXTREMELY unpleasant.
