I am so sorry. The itching can be terrible. I would trade it for pain any day! Over the years I have tried Lyrica, capsaicin cream 4 times a day, massive doses of Benedryl, accupuncture, etc...
I currently take 400 mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day and an antidepressant.
Ice packs help temporarily.
Being legally blind is terrible on top of this.
Perhaps try the Calm app for daily meditation/relaxation. Yoga too.
You sound like a sympathetic husband which is a huge help to your wife.
I wish you and your wife all the best.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. We are both in our 70's - me being older 🙁 but we have managed this problem for a long time now and we do what we can. Thank you again.

I don’t know why I got extremely lucky with the Chiropractor that I found. I had suffered with this on and off for 5 years, always went away around the end of September, then it didn’t. Ice was the only relief, until I found Eric Jaszewski, D.C.in Lawrenceville NJ
Best of luck to you
