Members connected over the frustrating reality of fibromyalgia-related itching, sharing that it affects various areas including the scalp, arms, legs, and torso, often worsening during flares and leaving skin visibly irritated or marked from scratching. Several members offered practical relief strategies, including Benadryl or antihistamines, cortisone or calamine lotion, magnesium cream, Aveeno oat-based bath products, colloidal silver spray, and hot baths for temporary comfort. A recurring theme was that fibromyalgia affects every part of the body in unpredictable ways, and finding relief often requires patience, trial and error, and support from others who truly understand the struggle.

Yes unfortunately I have itching skin at times and very dry skin as well doesn't matter how much moisturizer you use.
All due to Fibromyalgia it affects every part of our body and our minds. 💖

Try using Calimine lotion on your skin to relieve the itching also use bath products like Aveeno that are made from Oats there is a shower wash and skin moisturizer. You can buy them from the Supermarket.

Hope that helps you may need to take a antihistamine you can get them from the pharmacy.

Try taking a Benadryl to ease the itching and a cortisone cream. Sometimes the itching is a side effect of opioid medication. Good luck and feel better.
