Count me in as one of the "nice to know there are others out there" group. I have had this problem (I refer to it as THE ITCH) for over a decade....It is a sensation that feels as though a mosquitoe and bee are inside my neck to my wrists tickling and stinging from the inside out. I wouldn't waste time with neurologists, allergists or doctors as a whole. I've tried them all and they just don't know. I've also tried EVERY anti-itch product with very little relief. The only sure fire way is ice until you freeze the sensation. Otherwise there is a recent glimmer of hope...Biofreeze gel. (Someone else mentioned this as well) It at least "overwhelms" the brain with a menthol cooling sensation....a welcome relief to the almost frost bite I give myself from ice. Try that and just pray for winter when it seem to improve. I do think it is tied in with nerve or spinal damage and exacerbated by sun, heat and maybe even sugar/caffeine. I'm even trying yoga. Good luck to you all! In solidarity to the fellow cursed.... Bruce
