Hi....does anyone else have internal itching all over your body from RSD/CRPS. I have type 2 RSD for five years now and it started with itching in both hips at night. Then it went to my head and the last couple of days it's all over my body. No rash...it feels like ants are crawling around inside my body. Tried Benadryl and it does nothing...it's literally driving me crazy. My pain doctor who knew everything about this condition left his practice and is now selling "BIOLYTE" it's IV in a bottle....I wish him well but currently can not find a doctor as knowledgeable as he was...

Hello. I have no answer for you as I had never heard of RSD/CRPS until I read your post. I feel for you and wish there was a solution and a doctor for your itching. I've got a dry skin sensation in my right thigh that started 2+ years ago. The amount of lotion, creams and oils I have used is ridiculous and all to no avail. My doctor basically said hmmmmm when I asked him about it. Our bodies are such a mystery at time. Best of luck.

My suggestion is that you contact an anesthesiologist that specializes in pain management. I learned about this step from the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic. They also suggested that I go to the university of North Carolina Department of anesthesiology for pain management since it is “in my backyard “. IE…a teaching school. It paid off. I’ve had a Boston Scientific Implant since March of 2022. I got relief not only from the pain but also from the itch that I had in my left foot.

Look into this. There are folks that have not gotten relief from the implant but my CRPS started in my left foot/leg and mirrored into my right foot and leg. I was very careful about following their instructions and the implant worked. I wish you the best! GrannyZoo.
