Any CURE for brachioradial pruritus? (besides ice as relief)

[steamboattracey]

Thousands of people are suffering with Brachioradial Pruritus, including myself, in my tenth year. It is the most maddening disease and I have learned of no cure. Ice is the ONLY thing to provide relief, and acupuncture has not been effective for me. I have tried all the expensive prescription and steroid creams to no avail. I am losing sleep, and my sanity, b/c it keeps me up all night. I am staying out of the sun, but every year, this persists until December or January. I have read countless articles and blogs about BRP, am sure that is what I have, but have yet to find a cure, and therefore some hope that I don't have to suffer with this every year for the rest of my life. Any new ideas/solutions/cures??? PLEASE?!!!!

LGU have you done it a few times? It may be different that what has worked for a few so far. You are the 1st to have no luck. I'm sorry to hear but people here describing what they have is exactly what I have had & it sure worked for me and it seems so far the other few that tried. Please try again a few times, you have nothing to loose. Good luck to you though.
I sure know it worked for me: Scratching itch near fold of arm near fold area, it starts small but once you touch it its like someone is priking ya with needles, no rash,except the redness from scratching, maybe a mild few bumps from time to time. Doesn't spread but confined to small area.
Those were my symptons for six years. I am well to do, clean, have a huge home and I consider myself very clean . Why I got this I don't know But all I know is I stumbled upon using The Clorox Wipes (Orange) and after one wipe it stopped, for a few days I would wipe again a few times just because I could not believe the relief after a few weeks from wiping here and there time to time it was gone....not almost, but gone ! It is going on four months now....it is gone....gone....gone! Doctors can thake their creams for this one...they didn't work for me~!  I went to the best doctors in NJ & NC ! They could   not stop it!    I will shout this until I know I have helped a lot of people !      C L O R O X     W I P E S !   :)       I not crazy but happy.

This evening the itch came back with a vengeance! Dreading going back to sleepless nights that starts with the God awful itching and then that horrible pubs and needles sticking on my arm.   BUT WAIT....a good wipe down with the Clorox wipe and it's 95% gone.

This is stranger than strange but I am a desperate ol' broad in her 60's who has insomnia and darn sure don't need to have what sleep I do get torn apart by my right arm. I really thought the Clorox wipe idea was absurd and knew it would burn the sores I had on my arm from the scratching.  No burning....just RELIEF!!!!

I URGE YOU FOLKS THAT ARE SUFFERING TO TRY ZAZA216'S CLOROX CURE!!!

GAwoman just keep it up....what ever it is is trying to survive but is dying.....Like I said I would just wipe for the heck of it cause I could not believe.....a few time I just laid the toweled on the area a few min........I swear I haven't used them in prob almost two months and not a sign of anything. Keep us posted !

I have this horrible itching as well.  Keeps me up at night.  I've been to so many doctors and have tried so many creams.  Ice doesn't even work for that long anymore.  If anyone has recent updates please let me know.
