Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is suffering for more than 1 year with a chronic itch for which after three different neurologists the only thing they have been able to treat this condition is with the use a of seizure medication Called Gabepentin. She has taken as much as 4800 milligrams in one day just to control the debilitating itching that worsens aftern eveing and into the wee hours of the morning. We are at our wits end. Do you possibly have an opionion of what disease this sounds like. All of her lab tests have come back showing no particular disease. I m sorry I didn t realize this was a paid service. I mon a fixed income and my daughter is a grad stuedent. thank you anyway
Chronic itching all over the body indicates chronic diseases, allergies, some hemathological diseases, parasitic infections etc. A thorough check-up for these possibilities by an internal medicine specialist is mandatory.
May you recover soon
