Debra, don't know if this helps at all, but my mom has suffered severe itching and rashes sometime after her right bleed stroke on Nov 27. She also suffered heat/cold spells, all of these maladies are getting less painful and irritating. The Dr.s don't know why....but she and I (with PD) have both suffered brain damage. It is the only link I can think of, the brain damage. You have suffered so much, I hope someone figures this out.
