We think she has an allergy, probably to something like dust mites like you mentioned kjc, and she makes it worse with her nervous scratching and biting. Hopefully once the weather cools down (a long way off right now unfortunately) she'll start to feel better.
Did the vet suggest an antihistamine to offer some relief or another course of treatment? If it were one of mine I would continue to look for the source of the problem. It is not comfortable to be biting and itching.
