Freshly laundered sheets and blankets (clean of dog fur) resolved the itching.

Tried that and even switched laundry detergents and shower soaps. No relief.

My wife picked up some hypoallergenic laundry detergent with no scents added. The sheets are comfortable and neutral. I have something else going on in my calf muscles. A deep itch that is extra painful when subjected to hot water in the shower. My calves look a little like the effect of congestive heart failure, but I doubt that is the issue. I suspect I was exposed to the original SARS in March 2003. Both legs were swollen.The ER did lots of tests. No diagnosis. No treatment. Just a big bill. I had to walk on my treadmill 20 minutes per day for 3 months before I could put my shoes on again.

Keep trying options. I also found that alcohol and chocolate will disturb my sleep. Lots of restless hours before finally settling down to sleep.
