Thank you, for sharing this article.
I have full body RSD with organ involment. Four years after being DX during the Christmas holiday I started itching full body. I went to see my PM doctor he sent me to an allergiest. He told me "The small part of the brain that responds to the nerves for itching were telling the brain to itch thus the scratching". He prescribed 4 mg x a day of Periactin. It has controlled the horrible itching problem. Sometimes when I have a flair up I need to take an extra 4 mg.
Thanks again for sharing.
Take care,
Sherrie
