I’ve had this for many years and it’s just getting worse. My sheets are bloody when I wake upbecause I scratch myself so much when I sleep. Steroid creams are mildly effective and Atarax is somewhat helpful. However, I also have restless legs and patients with the restless legs should not be taking antihistamines because it makes that condition worse so most nights I just don’t sleep and I want to peel my skin off. Years ago my insurance paid for doxepin cream but now my insurance refuses to pay for it and in the states it’s almost $1000 a tube. But that did work better than clobetasol Cream and oral doxipin. I’ve also had a lot of chiropractic work, including traction, which really hasn’t done much

Go to to the Mayo Clinic! Beg them to see you. Send them your records. After itching for 18 months and treated with pills, creams, and injections, the dermatologist I saw at the MAYO had me itch-free within a month after titrating my meds. They are the best!
