Greg, I also suffer from itchy scalp. I went to the dermatologist and he gave me a shampoo to use three times a week, but it does not stop my head from itchy. It itches in the same spots every time. Sometimes it is so bad I have to take a Benadryl. I'm convinced it's something neurological because sometimes even under my arms, my chest and the top of my back itches very bad. I am a C4 quad so if anything below that point is itching I wouldn't know. I cannot reach the top of my head so I have to have someone else scratch me. It's so annoying

Good luck, my friend. Larry ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: greg <[email protected]> Date: Monday, December 21, 2015 Subject: [QUAD-L] Itchig Head To: [email protected] My head use to itch so bad, lots of flakes. I used Crisco or Coconut oil, and it helped lots. But lately my head itches so bad, no flakes, and nothing helps. I'm up all night trying to scratch my scalp. Like bugs, but nothings there. Dermatologist gave me samples of itch free shampoos, but said everything looks fine. I do not think the cold weather is causing it. Never has before. My face too, it's like I have loose hairs tickling my face. Can allergies cause that? My left eye is watering bad for 3 days now. I flushed it with Visine, and a saline wash, and nothing. The outside edge gets crusty, goopy, and feels like I may have scratched it rubbing it so much. Sounds like another doc check up, Greg
