Itchy Arms

Starting in August, I get extremelly itchy arms.  It is only on my arms, top side.  It is uncontrollable and so extreme I itch until I have broken skin.  It is actually more than just an itch.  It feels deep from within, like a prickly intense feeling inside my skin.  It usually subsides sometime in January or February.  This year I actually started itching end of June/July.  This is going to be a long season if itching for me.  I am miserable.  Ice seems to help, probably numbing it.  I take Neurotin 100mg during the day as needed for itch, which has been a lot lately.  At night I take a Neurotin 300mg.   This has been getting me throught the night most of the time.  I just hate being tired all of the time.  This is my 8th year with this problem.  I have been to dermatologists, neuologists, general practitioners, and allergists.  Nobody seems to be able to help me.  Like I said, Neurotin helps, but I can't function on it and I have had to take a lot of it lately.

Help, please!
