Hi again @artscaping
Here is an article I found which has some good info:
https://hms.harvard.edu/news/itch-brain#:~:text=Neuropathic%20itch%20is%20a%20different,a%20very%20common%20viral%20infection.
Most relevant is the third paragraph under "Insatiable Itch".
As explained, "internal" itching can have many causes, one of which is neuropathic. The pain of neuropathy, such as the allodynia I described, is a different sensation.
Let's hope that the brainiacs come up with a treatment for both soon.
Stay well.

Hey there @jeffrapp, Now we're talking. Insatiable is a good description. So....my sense of it being Internal, inside the body is apparently also correct? There is no skin sensation. When you scratch.....your leg may bleed but the itch is still there.
Thanks again,
Be healthy and content.
Chris
