Itchy

I have a difficult time transitioning from one season to the next.  When fall arrives, it takes me forever to give up wearing flip flops and capris.  Fall to winter is my hardest transition, but the others can be challenging as well.

One of the worst issues I have with going from fall to winter involves my skin.  I get super itchy.  As I type this, I feel like I have a fever.  There is tingly itch on my arms, legs, and lower back, and I experience waves or heat, then cold.  All of this is more than extremely annoying. 

I've tried moisturizing lotion, but it doesn't help.  Even resisting the temptation to shower with hot water or turn the electric blanket above 2 doesn't make a difference; I still get the twitchy itch.  Usually after a week or so, my body adjusts to the lower humidity and the contrast between cold natural air and heated indoor air.

The way I feel now, "adjustment day" can't come soon enough.  : /
