Phantom Itches
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else get these? I literally tear my legs apart scratching

There are many times I would get itches and when I try to scratch , and not able to get rid of it. It's almost like the scratch is coming from the other side of the skin, and not on the top side of the skin.

Pat, I also have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). It's a side effect from one of my meds. Trust me, this itching we're talking about is nothing like it. One us just as bad as the other, but definitely not the same. And there is a med to stop the RLS. Thank goodness. But nothing stops the itching but time.

I suffer with this - never linked it to epilepsy. Even if I put lotion on they still itch like crazy!!
