Re: pulling on ICD

Every morning I wake up thrashing and pulling on my ICD. Hope I don't pull me leads out one of these days.  In my sleep, subconsciously. I forget it's there and think..   what is this thing and it itches. Get it out of me 😂

How long does the itching last?

I thought mine was infected I still try to scratch it at night.

ITCHING

Mine really only itches at night. But it itches like a healing type itch.

Tried benadryl among other things I even have some high powered creams with steroids in them nothing really helps.

If I ever find a way to stop it I will let you know.

This will sound strange, but when you have an itch in a place you mustn't scratch, sometimes it helps to scratch somewhere else on your body.

Curiously, it really will stop the itch.
