Wearing longjohns, even in 105 degree heat, since it protects my legs when I scratch and it cuts down on the itchiness by the pressure the cloth puts on my legs.

Wearing socks --in the evening I like to take my shoes off when I get home, but if I sit someone with bare feet, I inevitably end up scratching them.

Sleeping with Shoes  --What I have found that if you sleep with shoes at night, I use sneakers, the numbness, tingling and whatever seem to disappear or are quite manageable.

Wear cotton, avoid polyester  --I found 100% cotton with a light texture is best for me when my PN was at its worst. Polyester is a big no-no for me.

Smooth cotton sheets, avoid flannel  --When my PN was it its worse, I couldn't use flannel sheets. They had a tendency to grip to my scars and make my itching more intense. Smooth cotton sheets with an even surface was/is the best for my PN.

Cotton Tee Shirt --I wear a cotton T-shirt under all clothes. Pure, soft cotton - it really helps.
