Notolgia Paresthetica (itchy back)

Posted by itchy85 @itchy85, Nov 2, 2024

I've been suffering from this affliction for several weeks, and have tried all the recommended suggestions for relief, except to take gabapentin. Has anyone found that helpful, and at what dosage? I'm by myself, and am experiencing terrible itching across my back. It causes considerable anxiety and stress. Thanks for any info.

I have an applicator like this one (link at end of this writing) at Amazon to help me put lotions and medication on my back and legs .. I am not promoting this product .. just telling you there are contraptions out there to help us. They used to sell these at drug stores/pharmacies and stores such as Walmart. I believe medical supply stores sell such things. The way the world has gone you are more likely to find such things on the internet. There are different styles of applicators .. so look around.
