Hi Flossie
Itching is horrid, had it on and off for a few years and yours sounds particularly bad. I think there is an anxiety issue to some degree so acceptance does help.
What’s got on top of it slowly for me was a combination of two things.
Doing research I realised that I was probably lacking folate so needed to supplement. Not folic acid. A slow introduction is advisable as folate can be a bit excitatory!
I found that using small amounts of folinic acid was sufficient along of course with B12.
Also, as itching is generally an autoimmune response, by reducing my estrogen dosage it lessened.
I now have minimal itching.
This is my experience Flossie, I do so hope you find your balance with this.
