People always ask how I lost my leg, so I'll tell you in case anyone is interested. I had Ewing's sarcoma when I was seventeen. I had a tumor on my fibula. I lost a leg, but I beat Ewing's, which wasn't easy in 1974.

That is bad about your loss.

Do you feel pain as well as the itch and tingle?

Is there any neuro type med that you can take to relieve these feelings?

This was really interesting when coupled with the personal experiences of Frank.

Great Thread.

In my experience, pain is something you can ignore, but an itch you can't. I've suffered from allergies all my life, and I've seriously considered chopping limbs off just to relieve the itch.

It's a fucking horrible thing.
