I finally got in to see a neurologist for my chronic neuropathic itch about a month ago. Given the choices of medication he gave me I chose Cymbalta. It’s an antidepressant, but it tends to relieve chronic itch.

My itch started with my scalp and ears, but ultimately spread to my upper right arm and my upper back. While Cymbalta hasn’t been a complete success, my arm and back itch is gone, but my scalp itch remains.

@absoloodle What caused the neuropathy though? Was it idiopathic?
