What are some quick easy fixes for that imaginary itch related to MS pruritus? I've only delt with this about a dozen times over the years, I break my skin open and bruise everything. Tonight it's keeping me up. No, no I do not want a new script for it.

Ice. Get a bag of ice place it on the itch until you can't stand it. Freeze it. Watch what happens, itch gone. It confuses the brain.

As per usual this site has an answer and stops us from going mental or self-harming.
