Thanks for the opportunity. I have itching on most of my back that is maddening. I get some relief with a Shingle formula even though I don't think I have Shingles.My husband thinks I have sympathetic dystrophy which he says has little Rx success. Don't know what to do next. MDs sort of shrug.
Thanks for any suggestions.

@irajoyce. Have you seen a dermatologist? Isn't it frustrating to have your doctor shrug when you have a question? I just left a doctor who did that to me. He thinks that because I'm taking less medications than he, I shouldn't complain. His attitude is, what do you expect, you have this and this. I think he is just buying his time till retirement. I'm going to a new doctor, hope he is more proactive. Itching is maddening, I hope you get better soon. How about good old calamine lotion? I once had a very itchy spot on my leg where I put a topical pain relief patch for too long, calamine lotion worked for me.
