I am on gabapentin and on some days somehow it weans the unpleasant sensation but not the pain in my feet which goes up to my knees. I am okay now because I dont wear pants or long sleeves. I dread the coming winter (not the winter per se) but the thought of wearing the thick clothes.

I hope your itching is just temporary.
