Thanks for your response Laurie. I am sorry to hear about the itch problem. There is a discussion here started by Chris, here is the link in case you want to take a look:

Linda (my wife) gets itchy as well. Often it's her feet but sometimes all over. When it is localized to the feet she has found Aveeno anti itch cream to be the one thing that calms the itch (we get it at Walmart). If she gets a particularly excruciating bout of it she puts it on and it will usually calm it down. The only thing she does when it strikes all over is ride it out. She does occasionally give in to a scratch here and there but tries very hard not to. If she uses kratom that will usually take care of all of her different pain issues, which primarily are PN, headache, tinnitus and fibromyalgia. Kratom give complete relief but also comes with the price of making her somewhat sedated. Great if you want to go to sleep but not so good for the daytime. If you are interested in kratom, there is plenty of info available and I can tell you a good pure brand to buy. Let me know.
BTW, we love Canada abd used to visit Vancouver sometimes when we lived in Portland, Oregon. Beautiful country up in BC. As far as marijuana, is the medical variety available there? You can buy the kind you do not have to smoke, I think. Best, Hank
