OMG, I never knew that itching was a symptom but now that I have reed this I do itch my back, arms, legs and I use body butter cream. I have excame so I buy the good stuff. Thanks I'm going to check this out more good luck to you.

I itch all the time and have terrible sweats. It gets worse when I sweat, and when I flare. Some meds can make you itch, but I feel it is a part of the fibro. Also, I was told that the itching is a form of neuralgia, in which, it seems a lot of us with fibro have these symptoms. Makes sense. Those little nerves never stop moving around, I don't think...

Yeah I bought a back brush with medium bristles so I can reach the irritating parts on my back when it drives me crazy. I ignore it as much as possible but some times that one spot just gets too much and needs a good itch. I always wear loose cool clothing and use layers instead of jumpers etc in winter.
I've sensitive skin anyways, always have had, aveeno almond oil lotion helps to cool my skin after a shower or bath.
My patches were making me burn up and sweat and itch too much though so I reduced the dose significantly. As long as it is not a major everyday issue due to meds then it is OK, annoying but nothing to worry about. xx

People (doctors) have told me the sweating and itching are sides to meds but I'm not convinced as they were there before and I'm always worse with itching/sweating if I have a flare up. The sweating also makes my itching worse - I think it just loosens my skin to the point where it just falls away if I scratch, which in turn means I itch more. It's horrible.
