can neuropathy cause bad itching sensation

Hi Oh experienced ones Yesterday the palm of my left hand was driving me nuts itching - no topical reason could be seen - no spots bumps or rashes.
Laat night at bed time the other hand started itching. I started thinking about it - if the nerve mess from neuropathy can cause the sensations it does Could itching be a sesnsation from it?
any experience or thots -- Last Chemo was April 1

Hi Susan
I am so sorry you are having the intense itching.
While I was lucky to not experience any chemo-induced neuropathy, I think it is possible for one of the symptoms to be itching, even three months after the last chemo. I was thinking too that you might be having an allergic reaction to something, although you don't show any spots, bumps or rashes. If it is continuing, please call your doctor to see what s/he says and what you can do to relieve the symptoms. I hope you feel better soon!
