Living with Itch provides information on preventing itch as well as topical and systemic ways to treat it. Patient and parent narratives illustrate how people cope with itch and how, with medical and social support, itch can be managed.

Book Description
Tim, I just finished reading your book. I teared up 3 times and laughed twice. You have done an amazing job! I was thinking to myself how you and Karen are handling all of the changes with such grace. The two of you are such an amazing team and have developed such strong communication skills- you two could probably host a course for other married couples. Another poignant moment for me was on the page where you wrote We also informed our family that we had the disease that did not have a cure... I think the we in that statement is so true. . . . your book- have you anticipated how you will share it? You may want to consider both the MDA and ALSA (ALS Association) as outlets to share your story and tips. I also think you should pass this along to some of your neurology providers. I think your Prologue is an exceptional teaching tool for medical professionals. I still cant stop thinking about how you continually think about your blessings- I am going to tear up again and I am not a crier! I thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and sharing your experiences. You are lucky to have found Karen, and she is lucky to have found you.

Book Description
Advances in itch research have elucidated differences between itch and pain but have also blurred the distinction between them. There is a long debate about how somatic sensations including touch, pain, itch, and temperature sensitivity are encoded by the nervous system. Research suggests that each sensory modality is processed along a fixed, direct-line communication system from the skin to the brain. Itch: Mechanisms and Treatment presents a timely update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cells lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer. Composed of contributions from distinguished researchers around the world, the book explores topics such as: Neuropathic itch Peripheral neuronal mechanism of itch The role of PAR-2 in neuroimmune communication and itch Mrgprs as itch receptors The role of interleukin-31 and oncostatin M in itch and neuroimmune communication Spinal coding of itch and pain Spinal microcircuits and the regulation of itch Examining new findings on cellular and molecular mechanisms, the book is a compendium of the most current research on itch, its prevalence in society, and the problems associated with treatment.

Book Description
When everything around you is going wrong, how far would you go to fit in? Isaac's sixth grade year gets off to a rough start. For one thing, a tornado tears the roof off the school cafeteria. His mother leaves on a two month business trip to China. And as always. . . . there's the itch. It comes out of nowhere. Idiopathic, which means no one knows what causes it. It starts small, but it spreads, and soon--it's everywhere. It's everything. It's why everyone calls him Itch--everyone except his best friend Sydney, the only one in all of Ohio who's always on his side, ever since he moved here. He's doing the best he can to get along--until everything goes wrong in the middle of a lunch swap. When Sydney collapses and an ambulance is called, Itch blames himself. And he's not the only one. When you have no friends at all, wouldn't you do anything--even something you know you shouldn't--to get them back? Drawing on her own experiences with idiopathic angioedema and food allergies, Polly Farquhar spins a tale of kids trying to balance the desire to be ordinary with the need to be authentic--allergies, itches, confusion and all. For everyone who's ever felt out of place, this debut novel set in the Ohio heartland is a warm, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking look at middle school misfits and misadventures. Whether you root for the Buckeyes or have no clue who they are, you'll be drawn into Itch's world immediately. This engaging debut is perfect for fans of See You in the Cosmos and Fish in a Tree.

Book Description
Why write a book about itchy skin? The answer is simple. I have struggled with dermatographia urticaria and itchy skin for most of my life. I live with it each day. I know what it's like to feel alone, like you are the only one who has to experience this. So I decided to do something about it. I decided to write a book about treatment options. My hope is that through this book you can be encouraged, learn about your skin, and inspired to change your future.This book covers everything from chronic urticaria, hives, swelling, acne, and eczema. Basically, every type of itchy skin treatment you can think of. Our skin is telling us something. That we are not living healthy and need a change. That's what I cover in my new book "Living with Itchy Skin".Why itchy skin? Itchy skin is a global problem. The goal of this book is to provide free and easy to understand information for everyone, no matter where you are in the world, or what age you may be. So, whether you just found out you have dermatographia, or you have been battling symptoms all of your life, hopefully you'll find something useful in this book.The topics found in this book are based on my personal experience. I chose them because they are the areas that I have spent the most time studying, experimenting with, and overcoming. There are a lot of books out there that have information about dermatographia. The topics found in this book are based on what I have learned in my personal life. I chose them because they are the areas that I have spent the most time studying, experimenting with, and overcoming.There are a lot of books out there that have information about dermatographia. Yet many books online speak from secondhand knowledge, or from scientific data. But for me personally, I have always found it it is easier to learn from someone who has experienced it first hand. That is why I have spent the last 20 years trying different things to reduce my dermatographia symptoms. My hope is that if I can share my trials and errors with a few other people, they can avoid the same mistakes that I made.Today, I know that I have things that can help. I feel like I have something worth sharing. There are so many people offering advice and information online today. So, I thought long and hard before creating this book. I wanted to make sure I had something valuable to share, and that I had a good handle on my own struggle with dermatographia. The reality is that while I still have my issues now and again, I know what needs to be done.Everyone's battle with itchy skin is different. For me it is one I have fight for more than 20 years. My dermatographia was brought on by a traumatic event when I was a child. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I had a terrible accident in front of a large group of people that left me having anxiety and panic attacks. I was afraid the accident would repeat itself, even though the odds of that were very small.After I dealt with this traumatic event as a child, I started experiencing early symptoms of dermatographia. Then, as I got older, they got worse. I noticed that I would get itchy under my clothes, and that there were times where a simple scratch would turn into a bright red welts. There were times where I would be outside and walk by a bush that would gently scratch against my bear arms. Within a few minutes I would notice bright red marks where there had only been a slight touch.In the last several years I have learned more about how to treat the symptoms of my dermatographia than I had known in the rest of my life combined. I will share more of those things throughout this book. What I did not realize before is how much my diet, stress, and exercise can contribute to my dermatographia. Of course, there are some genetics involved that I cannot change. All hope is not lost. Through discipline and trial and error, I have learned more about the causes, treatment options, and symptoms that I can control.
