It would seem to me if she was worth her weight in knowledge she would have known that especially since the article was in a neurology journal that was easy to find on line. I told her that I was diagnosed with mixed collagen vascular disease with Lupus and Sjogren's as the presenting diseases when I was 16ys old. Then I read an article on SFN that said it's the end result of long standing Sjogren's Disease. Quite honestly my neurologist isn't much help, as she sent me all over half the state looking for a cause and in the end labeled it idiopathic. I really hate this disease and I know that's a strong, word, but I've lived with it since 2006 and it's only progressed. Well it's been a life saver!!! No more itching!! Most of my worst itching was in the warmer weather which is when the worst burning pain is also, so we're coming into the warmer months now, so we'll see how things go from here, but I got through the entire winter like a dream, and most of last summer was fairly good so I'm ever so hopeful for this one as well.

The stress of isolated living and a form of depression that is about our global community also creeps in. I am female with “O” negative blood which they just devour.Įven if you have a solution for other than neuropathy, please share and I will happily do the research. It reminds me of summer in Minnesota when the mosquitoes launch their attacks. The itching results in a terrible level of anxiety. Have you tried certain baths? Oatmeal? I have a steroid cream called Triamcinolone Acetonide. Once you start itching, it’s over….your are stuck scratching. No matter how much you scratch you make it worse, not better. It appears that it reaches through several skin layers. I don’t know what to use for this itching. I have SFN (small fiber neuropathy) and am a medical cannabis user for pain. I am desperately in need of help with what is called Neuropathy itch.
