I have been having an intense itch on the front of my arms and hands. I called the nurse help line and they said to talk to the Dr., especially since I have no signs of a rash or skin irritation. Well the Dr. said to try this cream for arthritis. It heats up and feels really warm. This is to help with the nerve damage, they think I might have from sun damage to my arms over the years. My arms show no signs of rash or irritation. In fact they look great.
This cream is funny, or at least it is when I am not touching my eyes, ears or others. If I touch my eyes then they burn, same with anything I touch. JT and I were reading today and he said "Ouch my eye and mouth burn". I realized he was holding on to my arms and had touched his eye and his mouth. This is not the cream for the faint at heart.
If you get your skin wet where the cream is, it then burns really hot. You cannot wash this stuff off after it has been on a 1/2 hour. When I wash my hands I feel they are on fire a few minutes later. It does not show anything when it burns, it just burns. It is strange to lay in bed at night and think that at any minute your arms are going to spontaneously combust. The itching is better, but still annoys me at times and especially at night. By the way, if I do scratch it just gets worse, so no touchy and that is sosososo hard to do.

Leprosy...it must be! Just think...once your arms fall off everything will be fine!
Sometimes I think that might do it. Then I worry about phantom itch.
Like phantom leg pain on a person w/o legs? Just think about how much fun you could have with this cream- you could lightly cover the toilet seat at someone's house with it and see what happens... (Just not mine please) or put it on the door knob of a public bathroom- that could really freak people out.......
I hope that the itch goes away soon. You rock- and so does Qatar- he and Lily cleaned her whole room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it worth it? What does David think? besides when he kisses your arm.
