Does Anyone With Fibro Have A Itching Problem?

Itching may occur in fibromyalgia due to certain nerve fibers being activated and causing an itching sensation. Itching and pain share a common pathway positioned in the spinal cord. Pain and itchiness also activate the same sensory brain areas. Someone who is sensitive to pain may also be sensitive to itchiness. Scratching the itch causes the release of serotonin as a pain reliever, which activates the receptors again and causes more itching.

At Walgreens or ant pharmacy. It's usually where the band aids and medicated creams are. It's a fairly big white bottle, mine has a pump on it and I'm pretty sure the lettering is blue. I'll double check next time I get up and let you know if it's not.
