Itching is Debilitating

As anyone with eczema knows, the chronic itch can be debilitating. A new study as reported by ABC concluded that chronic itching can be upsetting to one's life as chronic pain. Interstingly, some study participants reported that they would give up 13% of their life span to live itch free. And they found that being married helps patients deal with chronic itching better, presumably because they have more of a support system.
