What are you all doing for the itching or crawling sensations? I'm on Zyrtec and tried to ween off because of the drowsiness but it just amplifies the itch.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I recommend the following:
1. Switch to scentless laundry detergent and soap for use in the shower.
2. Moisturize right after bathing while pores are open.
3. When really itchy try calamine lotion.
Hope this helps!
I do not have the itching sensation, but I do have the crawling, incredible sensation to move my legs. I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome many many years ago, and for some reason it went away. Then came fibromyalgia, and it became even worse!!! I don’t know which is the culprit, but I got this lotion called Mama Bear from my mom, and it has really helped! I think you can put it on anytime, but I have been lathering up my legs with it at night, and taking Tylenol pm. I have been sleeping soundly, which hasn’t been the case for me in a long time.
But I still do get tired very quickly just the slightest thing I’ll be doing around the house or at work. Makes me feel this way. But we’re taking Cymbalta I don’t get too many flareups, and the pain is minimum
The medication I take for FM is Cymbalta I don’t get much of the itching or crown sensation since I’ve been put on this medication.
Well, what are used for the itching is rubbing alcohol. It’s weird, but that’s the first thing I reach forwhen the itch itching starts .
