Bug bites after shower

[TLARRI1]

After I give my wife a shower she feels like mosquitoes are biting her all over especially her legs. Does anyone else experience this after a shower? It usually lasts about 15-20 minutes.

Unfortunately we have no experience with your issue as it's not something my wife experiences (thank god because my wife hates bugs more than you can imagine). Anyway I just wanted to say you seem to be struggling with things that aren't usual ALS symptoms. My wife is experiencing unexplainable things similar to your bug bite problem too, and that drives me crazy. I keep thinking first we were hit with a disease that is extremely rare and then we lucked out with these other issues making this journey so much harder. These things are compounded because we are left with a feeling of hopelessness because we want to help our dear spouse but there's nothing we can do.
I hope your wife finds a solution and you can stop this issue ... fast.

It can be irritation from the heat on dry skin because with reduced mobility, the microcirculation isn't doing all the same things. I would try moisturizing more, including just before/after the shower, and drying her legs right away. Coconut oil products, Aveeno (the ones with oats), and something else I can't remember that will come to me are worth a try.

I would also try to massage her legs with magnesium oil a few times a day. Keep them moisturized. You can also try heat or cold packs. My feet respond better to cold and my legs heat.
