It will appear out of no where, last about a week and then leave. When it leaves, it it nice enough to leave me with very attractive scabs from me scratching the ever living heck out of it tearing the skin off, which by the way takes FOREVER to come back, if it decides to. So at this point, I am left with arms, legs, sides, stomach, the part of my back I can reach, hands & feet that look like I have been abused for years.....just wondering if this is related to my new found friend (RSD) or if it is just another friend I have yet to be introduced to?

Thanks and don't mind my sarcasm, it is just my way of dealing today!!:cool:

I don't even know if I have RSD but I am itching like crazy tonight!

Me too. I have a deep itch in my ankles and knees that comes and goes. I try to scratch it but it is so deep my scratching doesn't help. It drives me crazy. My Neuro says it is my nerves miscommunicating from the CRPS. I have a Ketamine combo cream she prescribed for me for the burning. I've tried it for the deep itch; it helps some. I also have tried Biofreeze (I keep in the frig). I have a new magnesium lotion I've ordered. I am hoping it might help with this itch too. I'd love to soak in a tub with Epsom Salts, but I can't handle the tub. Perhaps that would help you if you are still able.
