Yes, easpecially at night. Very itchy. I have one point on shoulder blade ( can’t reach ( of course), that burns like crazy. I figure it’s a nerve ending on fire. Happens a lot when I’m tired. Only thing that helps is scratching it with a firm hairbrush. Then it’s completely gone... til the next time!

Yes I have this all over my body. I went to a neurologist and had tests and was told that for me it was from fibro. Always get the dr to clean things out
