This level of suffering is real, and he deserves urgent support right now. The relentless itch and sleep deprivation from prurigo Show Full Answer
I've also found that using a factor 50 sunscreen can also calm down the itch. My dermatologist told me to always use it before going outside but it also works when I'm inside. Don't know if this is of any help to anyone but I just thought I'd mention it
I've been on gabapentin for 22 years and have recently started on methotrexate and folic acid too. The two together seem as if they might work if they can get the dose right. I also use biofreeze, lanacane, probotic 0.1% and lots of moisturiser. I've been up and awake all night with it on my arm so I really feel your pain (no punn intended)! I hope you find something that helps it's so miserable feeling the way your brother feels now, it sounds as though he has someone who really cares in you and that means so much.
Along with Nemluvio, I was put on Roflumilast and that has helped along with low-dose Naltrexone (4.5 mg).
Hi Aylin! Has your brother tried the NAC?
