Fibromyalgia Itching
Fibromyalgia Itching. Can anyone advise on what is best to help with the fibromyalgia itching it just started for me a driving me mad. It is so hard not keep scratching until it is raw. Thank you ππ»
Calamine lotion helps me. I try to apply it before scratching, making it worse. Have you tried applying ice on it? That helps me sometimes. Best of luck.

Some people may also experience pruritus, or severe itching, as a symptom of fibromyalgia.Β
Itching may occur in fibromyalgia due to certain nerve fibers being activated and causing an itching sensation. Itching and pain share a common pathway positioned in the spinal cord. ... Initially, scratching relieves the itch, but with constant scratching the skin becomes damaged.Β
Just as there is no one cause for fibromyalgia, there isnβt a cause for the unexplained itching. Itching is one possible way your nerves can react to the condition.
Itβs also possible that itching could be a side effect of medication you are taking for fibromyalgia, such as pregabalin (Lyrica), duloxetine (Cymbalta), or milnacipran (Savella). Always let your doctor know about any side effects that you experience, even if they are not listed as known side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or change your medication.
