Stop itching, how??

My life expectancy is short. But losing quality of life is like a two edged blade. I think bilirubin is causing uncontrollable itching. I want to tear my skin off. I’m not allowed any tablets due to state of liver. Starting acupuncture soon...any ideas???

Hi

I'm so sorry to hear about your itching and prognosis. Could your GP do a script for some cream to ease the itching? You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you, Lynne
