I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ". What is the role of "des"? It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb. Or is "démangeaisons " a noun? It certainly looks like a verb. Thanks for any help.

Role of "des"

Gary, ‘ démangeaison ‘ is a noun. Hence the article - ‘ des démangeaisons ‘.
There is also the verb ‘démanger’ - but none of the verb conjugations have the same form as the noun.
