What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Good evening @kyc117, I am so bummed that you have to deal with itching. You ask....maybe an early symptom? What are you thinking that itching might be indicating? The Bath and Body Works solution isn't half-cocked. I remember someone else mentioned that product several years ago.
Unfortunately, my itching seems to have a lot to do with emotional stress.......as I have begun tracking the beginning of itching incidents....they all seem to be set off by a fear, an omission, a regret, a sorrow, and sometimes a sadness. I do have some amazingly good Rx solutions. The new Sarna topical (Sensitive) was just introduced and my dermatologist let me know that I should try it because it has a special new ingredient. She was right and it does help more than the old one did.
So....we tumble along....looking for relief....trying to control what I call the "onslaught". Stay in touch, stay calm. I am here for you.
May you have comfort and ease.
Chris

Well, I had shingles in my late 20’s on my back. I’ve had itchiness since then...who knows if it is related to SFN or result from shingles?
Hi Chris, so glad you have found a helpful anti-itch lotion that works for you. I have also found that emotional stress brings on a flare for me which can last several days. I try very hard to employ “mindfulness” when negative thoughts crop up, not always easy and then of course there is the constant thought of “is this now permanent or will it go away”. This insidious disease itself causes a rollercoaster ride of emotional distress which in itself is hard to deal with. Helen
@artscaping Sarna is one thing I have not tried yet. Is it over the counter or on prescription? I have tried everything I can get my hands on but still continue to claw at my skin - night time being the worst.

Chris , it is all to do with brain. Look at my previous messages where I reported on curing a bad back itch, that I suffered with for many many year. Now totally gone after 3 days of neuroplasticity practice.
