Question --

I haven't been diagnosed with MS proper, but I came to this thread due to the itching I've had lately. (I have a couple of other issues, but not MS - ET, migraines, total removal of thyroid due to hashimoto's...)

I know it's a hard thing to describe, but I'm curious about the type of itching and the "zaps" I keep reading about. My itching tends to be worse at night. It will come on in one spot (around my body, mostly trunk/legs) so suddenly that the sheer thought of not scratching makes me cry. I sometimes scratch until I bleed (especially last night).

I do take benedryl and use some kind of cortizone cream, but I don't really want to live on that sort of thing?

So is this MS-esque? I'm just wondering because it's bugging the crap out of me.

Thanks!
