What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Hi Chris @artscaping
Both Aprepitant and Seriopitant are in the same class of drugs called NK-1 receptor antagonists. Currently, the main indication is for nausea and vomiting of chemotherapy.
I asked my neurologist if he knew of any use of these for the pain of peripheral neuropathy, particularly the burning pain associated with minor pressure, like wearing shoes or the touch of bed sheets (called allodynia). No answer yet.

Good afternoon @jeffrapp. Thanks Jeff.....I kind of thought you might know something to add to this search. I don't know if the neuropathy itch is considered burning pain. What do you call severe internal itching that causes acute agony? I am grateful for your participation. Stay tuned, as they say.

May you be healthy and free.

Good evening @jeffrapp, @johnbishop, Jeff...I am wondering if you have heard back from your neurologist about the Aprepitant and Seriopitant "off label" uses.
I am also interested in finding out how to choose the correct compression grade to look for in compression sleeves. I think I need a medical-grade for my arms and what is a medical-grade? I note that the sizing also correlates with different grades. These sleeves work well for me because the compression relieves a lot of the itch and they keep me from scratching. I then put gloves on so I don't cheat. John, how do you choose the grade for your leg stockings? Jeff....do you use compression?

May you be content and at ease.
Chris

Thank you, gentlemen.
Chris
