Itching legs problem...

Now, from reading the above post title, I should imagine everyone is expecting me to say that I have a problem with experiencing that (I mean itching legs), but the fact of the matter is that I don’t!

I did used to have itchy legs at one time (ie around a year and a half ago) but have barely had an itch since them. Could this be taken as an indication that my condition has improved, or could something else be assumed llkoofrom all of this?

Exactly Angela!. Darn it, every time someone posts about itching it sets me off, the Nocebo effect I think it,s called, where a person aquires the symptoms that someone else describes. Thank you Graham!!!!. lol.

Hi Graham,

I had very itchy legs when I was first diagnosed with cirrhosis, but it stopped a month or two after abstinence. My shin's still bear the marks of incessant scratching, so be thankful you don't have it any more.
