Do hope you can get on top of your pain issues soon. Does your itchy skin have tiny blisters as I have had this recurring issue quite often and now use Elocon Alcohol Free cream 0.1% which has been the only thing to control it. I only use it sparingly as it is a corticosteroid.

My itchy skin has developed skin tags, not really blisters. I think I found out that the ibuprofen I have been taking (2 capsules at night) is the cause of not just the itching, but pain, weight gain, raising of BP. I have been off ibuprofen for 3 days now. No itching, pain level is at a 1-2, BP is slowly dropping. So is it the PMR or was it the ibuprofen (I took for 3 years). Not sure but will keep you posted. Thank you for the tip on the cream! I appreciate it.
