“Three diseases without shame: Love, itch and thirst.” - Irish Saying
Has anyone found things to help sooth itching? I keep having that annoyance for awhile and tried different things to help relieve it.

Thanks for all of the answers and I will be making my list to try, you know for science!

Itching can occur or the sensation of itching because for whatever reason, your brain is commanding you nerves to flair up in that way. So it makes it hard to find things to work when the number one reason most people itch is because of dry skin and no one, outside of some fibro patients, deal with random itching sensations for .......unknown reasons?So it comes down to finding something to cool my nerves down to bareble levels.
But My doctor tolld me "its a fibro thing and sometimes it is random and sometimes something can trigger it too. Its just hard to figure out the true reason since fibro tends to have many layer and its just now getting accepted more, doctors willing to look at it more closely verses just chalking up to being in our heads."
I use a wonderful lotion called RENEW, it has tea tree oil and other healing properties and makes my skin feel great. You can't usually find it in stores, have to order it online.
Thank you for your HOPE! Because without that we all in trouble!!! 💜
I always put baby oil on as soon as I get out of the shower, before I towel dry. Seems to help me some.
Thanks, I will have to give her a try and see if it works for me.
