For what its worth, I get itching in my feet which I'm assuming is neuropathy related as there hasn't been any other cause for it. It doesn't intensify to the point that I've no choice but to scratch it until I'm bruised and bleeding. That sort of intensifying sensation is what I get when I'm having an allergic reaction to something and soon after the hives kick in and the rest is downhill from there. At least with the neuropathy type at this point in time, I can keep from injuring myself.
