For a while I had a gnarly case of AF between my two biggest toes that was resistant to over the counter cream and I wasn't able to get to a doctor for a bit. Running the hottest water I could get in my apartment over my foot was a bliss I had never known, and truly hope to never know again. It would be so intense I would get visual flashes. Nothing worked quite the same, I always assmumed it was a rush of endorphins to the location to attempt to protect us from feeling burning pain. Given that we both felt sensations of ecstasy and endorphins are involved in pain relief, it makes sense ot me that having the endorphin rush for the heat pain relieves the itching as well, increasing our expected return for the endorphin output, causing acute feelings of ecstasy and bliss?
