And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

When I have a headache, I find that if I focus on the headache/pain, it lessens. But maybe I'm just weird.
ETA purpose of this post: Focus on the itchiness and maybe it'll go away? I told you - weird.

And you can have a bad attitude sometimes without being rotten, vw.It is too bad I only learned that in my late twenties and spent my teens making Rory Gilmore look like Paris Hilton.

Forgive me for giving vet advice for humans, but...
I was just about to suggest that you check and see if you can take a benadryl, because the reason I had them for the dog was for itching - what the vet said was that it wouldn't make the skin much less sensitive or itchy, but she'd care a whole lot less one way or another. That seems like it would work for people, right?
On the people side, there are sprays - one's called Sarna - that are topical itch relief that might help.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My only advice, vw, is not to think about getting through the next three days. Every time you get overwhelmed, just get through that minute however you can - whether that involves screaming, crying, scratching, shoving your hands in mittens so you can't scratch while you scream, or whatever. It's all okay.
Y'all are great for making my shopping list for me.

Mostly lurking...
I think I have some benadryl, so maybe I'll try that.
Can't drink, even if I didn't feel like vomiting, otherwise that would be a LOVELY option.

Do you have a nice no-itchy meditation you can do?
Like what?
Um... look at a candle. On the inhale feel the light moving into your lungs and out of your skin and making the itchy spots very very soft and smooth -- let the light push away all the itchy. Where there is light, after all, there is no itchy.
On the exhale, blow out the dark, frustrating, irritation.
Repeat
Something like that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love that, Trudy. You might also want to pay attention to another non-itchy part of your body when it gets bad, like giving yourself a pedicure or rubbing lotion on your hands or brushing your hair (the bits you can safely get at, anyway).
