@artscaping Hi again, Chris, Yes, finding answers is the needle in the haystack. About 35 years or so ago, I wound up at Mayo Clinic for an odd inablity to heal from strep throat. I started developing some odd sensations, which vanished on their own, in about 2 weeks. One lf my symptoms was severe itch. I do remember a doctor at Mayo saying clearly, "Sick people itch. That is all we really know." That comment stayed with me, throughout the years. I think there is somewhat better treatment now, but when it is utterly severe, they don't have answers. As I write, my butt is absolutely on fire. I am pretending to be on a hot water bottle, and sunning my butt. I try my damndest not to let the oddness of neuropathy overwhelm me. I now use a curable app to try to turn down my amplified pain system. We all here have a full time job in just managing our bodies, and getting through one day without being nuts. (And I was nuts before this all happened!) Again, virtual hugs to you. LoriRenee1
