Hi there, Do you actually break out in a rash or no? What your describing has been an affliction of mine for 30 years or more and has only recently been diagnosed as RLS or restless leg syndrome. I do not break out in a rash or any other visible signs but because of the nerve damage through RLS I get very ichy legs and can't keep them still. This happens while sitting allot especially when over tired.
