Fire

How frustrating that must feel. I'm really sorry you're experiencing that. Unfortunately, you aren't alone in experiencing that intense fire and itchiness - usually pruritus. One of our authors, Lisa, wrote a really great piece about her experience with it. I'll link it here if you want to check it out: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/crazy-itch-just-cant-satisfy. She describes hers as feeling "When pruritus occurs as a symptom of multiple sclerosis, it is similar to other neurologic sensations - pins and needles, burning, stabbing, or tearing pain - known as dysesthesias." She mentions at the bottom of the article different things she's tried that has seemed to help resolve the issue. It's important to mention that we aren't medical professionals and can't give medical advice but I hope the information in this article will be helpful to jump start a conversation for you and your doctor. 🧡 Kayleigh, Team Member
