My husband
My husband will be 70 this month. He has struggled with “neuropathic itching“ for years. He's gone to Dermatologists, neurologists, and pain management specialists. He's tried Gabapentin, Cymbalta, Valium, Allergy meds, and Ambien in order to stay asleep. Its driving us crazy!!!!!
What else can he do? Who can actually help diagnose him? Should he see a Rheumatologist? Go to the Mayo Clinic? Desperately seeking help!!!
