Yes!! Especially when I'm in the sun or get hot. My dermatologist told me to avoid direct sunlight and try cold compresses. I have found that the icy compresses do help. I also take a low dose anti-anxiety pill, which also helps.

I have itchy feet and it's horrible. one of my fibro friend advised using apple cider vinegar and it did help me although not completely but I had some relief.

In the first years I had fibro, I had a lot of itchiness that drove me nuts. (I've had this 24 years). I don't know whethet it was my meds, the fibro, or dry skin, but I put salves on myself to try to control it. They helped to some degree. Once I went through menopause, the itching went away. Maybe there was something about hormones and fibro, I don't know. I hope people find relief. ❤

I live with that itchiness every day, it is part of my symptomology. Not everyone with Fibro experiences the Itchiness but there are enough of us that it is considered one of the symptoms.
