Title: itching sensation with blunt needles
Post by: del on February 26, 2007, 06:23:28 AM

Hubby gets an itching sensation as soon as a buttonhole needle goes in his arm.  Doesn't happen with sharps.  The itching only lasts a few minutes and then it goes away.  Wondering if anyone else experiences the same thing.

Never used blunts but I do find I get itching with sharps. Not all the time seems to come and go. I mentioned it on day when I was at the unit and they all looked at me like I was crazy so I never said any more about it. Guess maybe I'm not crazy. Wow!
