Hi @njcarolnjn,
Brachioradial pruritus, and your symptoms are very much real! Perhaps the fact that this condition borders between neurology and dermatology, is what makes it all the more difficult to treat?
Here's a study that was recently published, which you may wish to read.

Hi @njcarolnjn,
Have you tried any topical treatments like topical forms of menthol, or topical anesthetics (e.g. lidocaine)?
You mentioned, "...cervical and lumbar drugs are out of the question particularly antidepressants..." Have you had negative effects from these types of drugs?
