Can’t stop itching

[DahlblomDriven]

Anyone deal with this symptom, has anything given you relief? My scalp is driving me nuts itchingnit just seems to make it burn more than it’s now my back and arms and hands. I read this is a symptom of MS after it started last night I was itching so much I thought for sure my hair was going to fall out

I was like that when they put me on tegratol, but I have since come off it and occasionally it starts again. I use Aloe Pura, it’s aloe Vera with tea tree in it, and it soothes right away and it’s none greasy. Hope that you find relief soon. Blessings Jimeka 🦋 🍫

several years ago I had the same problem on both of my legs. It lasted for about 3 weeks then went away and thank goodness has not returned. I don't remember what I did for it, but I did scratch my legs to a bloody mess. I hope your bout won't last as long.

Hi DahlblomDriven Nice to meet you, although different conditions would be nice!🙄

Itching is a symptom of MS unfortunately. And not a present one. 😒😭 please don't pull your hair out! You might try selsem blue shampoo and no I can't spell it!🤣😂

It might work, and or benadryl.

Let your Neuro know!

You might be having a reaction to a medication so plz keep an eye on it!

🤗💕

I take gabapentin for my neuropathic itch

I do hope you let your neuro know, since there may be treatment for it. If it's not related to MS, a referral to a dermatologist may be in order. Don't suffer more than you have to!

Let us know when you find something that helps.

I went thru that for a week around the time my mom passed away. Ha! I just made the connection! 🤪🤪

It felt like i had ants or bugs crawling on me and it drove me insane! I did find using tea tree oil helped. Not only does it help with itching but it repels bugs. So if it was psychological (cuz i cudnt find any bugs) or if it helped the itching - either way it helped

When I had my first monster relapse years ago, I had dreadful itching, in my affected arm. It was bad enough that I had to wrap a tea towel around my arm, and tie it in place, to stop we from clawing at it in my sleep!

Thanks guys I told my doctor today and recommended Benadryl as I maybe allergic to the REbif medication I’m on we will see this week if it subsides 😔 I did ice and it helped lessen it somehow and shower with special shampoo may try the tea tree oil as well ❤️
