Uncontrollable itch

Hi does anyone experience itchiness on a numb patch of their body? I know I do the itch is so intense I scratch my self red raw with the constant itching does anyone have any tips on how to conquer this little nuisense x

Hi, there. I have a new numb patch - on my big toe, because my life is a ridiculous sitcom. At the moment, we're just keeping an eye on it. As for itching, my scalp drives me nuts, particularly at night, and regardless of when I last washed my hair. I still have no idea if this is MS-related, an infection, or even an allergy. I suspect the course of action will either be to increase my dosage of gabapentin or move me onto Pregabalin, as my tingles and tremors are also getting a bit worse. You should probably consider talking to your Dr about whether or not medication might be appropriate.

Funny, my scalp needs a good itch before I go to sleep. On the top, near the front, I just give it a good scratch and it is good. Didn't really relate it to my MS ;0 I use Gralise instead of Gabapentin as it is the extended release version and you just take it once a day. It seemed like Gabapentin kind of spiked at various times and pushed my blood pressure around. @highheeledfagin
