Title: Itchies the last hour?

 :stressed;

I have had this problem off and on since I began dialysis in 07, but it was very rare, the last 6 treatments i have had,my poor little nose has itched like CRAZY for the last hour of treatment! I tell the dr he shrugs says, hes never heard of that... i tell the nurse, she wants me to take benadryl I WANNA KNOW WHY! All the benadryl does is make me sleepy!!!
Does anyone else have this problem???
its literally JUST my nose! I scratch it raw even, its terrible!!!

It's not my nose some other parts is body .  U ever think it could be because of the fluid they take  off makes ur skin dry so it makes it irritable.  I notice after diaylsis tht my skin is really dry and see skin flakes.

my skin is dry too... and i hate lotion... lol
i suppose it could be, but its literally JUST my nose that itches like that. I of course itch other places sometimes, that could be the phosphorus, even the dry skin, but the INSANE itching, I cant even explain how badly it itches, is just in my nose, the spot between the nostrils mostly... My one thought, maybe my fistula! It feels like my nose is vibrating (have u ever put ur head on a moving car door??? it makes my nose itch like that!!!)
