Welcome to NT!!

I know how awful the itching can be. I had a doctor tell me I was a B12 deficient. However, that wasn't the case. I use to itch from head to toe anywhere anything touched my skin it would itch out of control. I take periactin 4MG. I use to take it 3 times a day and now I am down to once a day. I took benedryl (spelling?) it's over the counter until I got in to see my doctor.

My doctor told me that there is a nerve that talks to a very small part of the brain and tells it when to itch. Since I have full body RSD that nerve and the brain weren't giving and getting the correct signals. Thus the awful itching. It's like having poison ivy and you can't get it to stop itching.

I know how awful the itching can be and I know the feeling of wanting it to stop at all cost. Please call your docotor if he/she can't help. Call a neuro doctor. My Pain Management doc. sent me to an allergist who started the periactin.

Take care
Sherrie
