If it's neuropathic in nature nothing will relieve the itching sensation.

I have this symptom with my MS and it's maddening! Nothing helps. I usually notice it more at night and it's usually on my back.....but I've had it on my arms, legs, neck, etc.

I've taken Benadryl but it usually just makes me sleepy and I can fall asleep easier.
