Default Kitty...

Kitty...thanks so much for your response. I read several of the sites about MS itching. But, when I read this portion of your message, **"There are, however, several medications that are usually successful in treating dysesthetic itching. Among them are: anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine (Tegretol®), diphenylhydantoin (Dilantin®), and gabapentin (Neurontin®) antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil®)"** , I had to step back. I ALSO had this symptom when I used amitrypteline. Guess I won't have to bring it up to my doc, as it will be very obvious. I was hoping that somebody knew of some home product that might be able to help me until I see the doc.

Thanks again for your attention...............sally
