do any of you also have itching all over your body as well as the pain; especially when the pain is worse than other times? I am going through intense times in my life also, I guess this is contributing.

So sorry to hear this. However, many things I looked up said itching/burning skin is a fibro thing, and we all know pain is. I am sure that the other things in your life are contributing to this huge flare.

I wish I could do something to help you. You know we are here for a sounding board if you need it.

Feel better.

Hi there I found this article the other day and was going to post it in a thread but accidentally lost it... well found it again. Anyway it explains why your skin feels itchy and burns. Hope you feel better soon!

I have horrible itching which often times wakes me up at night. I thought it was due to our horrible all summer long heat wave but it's cooled off the past couple of days and I'm STILL itching all over. I've gotten to the point of wanting to take a whole bottle of Calamine and pouring it over my entire body!! You are not alone with this horrific problem. Hugs GB

I use a baby powder made from cornstarch. Works pretty well.

Seriously the itching predates the pain for me. Baby powder has turned my life around

I itch all the time, but scratching myself just gives me red rashy skin.
There's no winning this battle!
