Many of us have had a paresthesia that presents as itching. I scratched my ankle raw a few times.

thank you so much ... i feel a little better about it. Thought i was losing my mind
I am not dx'd with ms,still in limbo, but I too have had the " itch", where I scratched til I would bleed.
Three years of it, and finally the raw patch on my hand healed, but when I am hot, or my hand is in hot water, or even the core of my body is hot due to nervousness, or something, it acts up!
Horrible feeling! Good luck to you,
Pam
I always am itchy too and just thought it was all in my head or something. Good to know that there might actually be a medical reason causing it!
Pam, I like your screen name! So sad but true!
Hi, yes I experienced itching like crazy on both legs a few days before I started with numbness/tingling in feet. Then once the tingles climbed all the way up to my chest, I had frequent periods of itchiness over my back and stomach. My wonderful wife used to have to itch my back at some inconvenient times - like 2am! Fortunately, the ichiness has now subsided.
Anyways, best of luck to you.
Blessings

Thank you ... i feel better knowing it is something others have but also feel bad that you all have to deal with it too. I have lumps all over me from the "back scratcher" i searched high and low to buy. My husband also got up at odd hours to help me. He even gave me a pair of gloves because I was tearing my skin up ... :-}
Thanks to all
