Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Hi from a windy UK I have been a bit of a lurker lately, but wondered if you could help with something....? Has anyone ever tried acupuncture to help with pruritis? My husband had this brainwave and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences they could share? Thanks and kind regards, Kym Quote

In the early 90's when I first experienced itching I did try acupuncture. The experience was pleasant and gave me temporary relief but no more than a light brushing of my skin would do. The drugs I had available at that time didn't do much either. Years later I found rifampin provided relief at a much lower cost. Tim R, ltx 4/4/98, 6/19/07 & 7/7/07 Quote
