Need help with itchy/crawling feeling

hey y'all was just wondering if anyone has had any relief or remedy with something for the itchy/crawling feeling. It makes it almost impossible to get to sleep and it is causing extra stress I don't need, and it is keeping me up super late. I have tried itch relief creams, lotions,eczema creams, scratching is making it worse but it is impossible not too, tried cold packs,etc. Also I can't take Melatonin due to Epilepsy.

Have you tried a mixture of chamomile and lavender in a tea to help with sleep? Also, myrrh oil with spearmint oil added to a cream can help with itch.

I usually get that in my legs/arms. Weirdly one thing I’ve found helpful is wrapping tight a wet towel around my legs, it helps me change the sensation better than any other hot/cold techniques. Sometimes compression pants work but it can be hard to fall sleep in. I wish there was a better fix!!

For me it was a shower RIGHT before sleep. But now I also have some weighted blankets I put on me and something in headphones I can pay attention to, to not have to pay as much attention to the physical issuea.

Gabapentin helps me with that.

gabapentin has saved my existence. It doesn't work for everyone but it was one of my miracles.
