Crawling/Itching Sensation

Hello Everyone. My Name is Darlene and I was diagnosed with MS in October 2022 after partial loss of vision and pain in right eye. I have multiple symptoms which are mentioned on this site. I have been experiencing a crawling/itching sensation, which gets worse as the day progressed. Extremely bad at night. I have tried taking Benadryl, it doesn’t work on crawling/itching sensation, it does make me fall asleep. Has anyone had this issue? If so, how can I get relief? Please let me know. Thank you so much.

Cold :sweat_drops: is the thing that has worked best for me with infuriating MS itches that aren’t proper itches at all, just the effect of nerve misfires. A cold shower before bed isn’t always a terribly appetising prospect, but if you can’t run the affected part under a cold tap (and hurrah if you can) it might be worth a try.
