Hello,
Since you are having weakness & numbness on the right side, you should see a neurologist & get Nerve conduction tests & nerve biopsy done.
Neurological defects cause neuropathic itch. Antihistamines & corticosteroids are effective. You can apply hydrocortisone cream to get rid of itching. Take vitamin B6, B12, Folic acid & minerals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
