What Causes Twitching And Itching In The Body?
HIV+ for 30+ years. About 10 years ago, I began waking up in the middle of the night with severe twitching and itching. Cannot get back to sleep for about 2 hours. My doctor prescribed medication that is not very effective. My doctor is an HIV specialist, and cannot figure out what is gong on. Possibly related to this, my kidneys hurt very badly if i eat any protein or oil. Please, can you offer suggestions? I ve not had a good night s sleep in 4 days. I either need to find a different doctor or kill myself. I cannot go on much longer.

Hi,
So far as symptoms narrated here, twitching body is weakness related; while itching is allergic issue. Intake of safer analgesic as Tramadol hydrochloride if no sensitivity to the same with anti histamine as Benadryl or else will help for sure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
