The NASH Itch

NASH is often referred to as a silent disease, meaning many people don't have any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. As NASH progresses, symptoms can pop up that interfere with everyday life, such as itching.

Do you experience itching as a NASH symptom? Have you found anything to relieve or soothe the itching? Share any tips or experiences with the community below.

  1. The uncontrollable itching is what sent me to the doctor. I use Intesive Care Eucerin each day. I’m on Neurontin 50mg a day. Hydroxychloroquin 200 mg and Cholestyramine 3 packs a day. Constant scratching has caused psoriasis. They do not know what caused the NASH but think it may be previous meds throughout the years for Asthma attacks and pneumonias.

    1. have you been able to get the itching better controlled on this regimen? -Julie (team member)

    2. it’s better but not gone. I also have neuropathy and diabetes II, which cause itching. The itching drove me wild. Too much sugar or salt makes it worse also.

  2. Itch u can't scratch enough
