Aggravated much?

I don't know how this came about.  I remember as a kid having restless legs and putting my feet on the cold wall for relief of that??  

A few years back I started noticing bug crawling sensations and severe internal itch that I could not figure out how to relieve. Every doctor said I must have peripheral neuropathy from my bad back.  ...  

Last fall I was walking and a severe pain shot up my foot, and it was plantar fascitis.  After that everything started burning even worse, and itching even worse..  

I have been getting red itchy bumps on the knuckles of my fingers; they are very painful.  I can't knock on doors or anything.  They come and go.  Well, as of a week ago, I am getting them on my toes.

I was pounding clay at my art group and noticed it made my hands burn severly and itch.. I thought that was really strange.  Well,  since then my hands have also been on fire.  

Right now I feel all alone, I feel like giving up on most days.  I am regularly a busy person who can't sit still.  Now, I second guess everything I do.  I don't know if I can go visit my family out of state this summer.. gardening, exercising, even typing and holding my phone.  I don't even have the concentration to write this about myself.  I am so distracted and irritated..  I'd love to find someone that lives close to talk to, maybe we can find a doc close by??

Good Luck!
