What Causes Itching On Body When Suffering From Primary Lateral Sclerosis?
I have a challenging situation and am at our wits end. My husband has a condition (PLS)Primary Lateral Sclerosis. He is on his second baclofen pump. We have been to many doctors but no one has an answer. Every second or third day he gets a scratchy sensation (like prickly feeling, like wearing wool pants) which is very uncomfortable and itchy. He is on Gabapentin 300mg and now we are tring an additional 100 mg, three times a day. This definitely changes his mood and personality when this occurs. Do you have any suggestions to our problem ?
