The "Hodgkin's Itch" has not gone away as I experienced a bout with it last night. It goes like this.......Wake up itching...........notice sweat on pillow from neck/chest area..........continually scratch itchy neck, chest and arms for 15-20 minutes and try to fall back asleep.
It's an itch that cannot really be scratched as it is not really epidermal in nature. Doctor's of course really don't know why it occurs. The chemo is supposed to get rid of it.

Aaron, it sounds like the itch I had with the hives....the only way to scratch it was a knitting needle in my ear; ahhhhhhhhhh that feels better.
