Gabapentin is working for me somewhat but I have had to increase the dose recently abandoned I’m afraid that will continue. I have been using essential oils to ease the itching also, especially when ice isn’t available. Young Living is an excellent brand, a bit expensive but very pure oil. I use a blend of peppermint, purification and lavender in a carrier oil. 5 drops of each into a roller bottle and fill the rest with carrier oil. I sometimes put in extra peppermint bc it seems to cool and sothe it the best.
