Itching

Diagnosed with LS almost 1.5 yrs ago (at 44). Have had intense itching for two yrs. Dr performed biopsy, came back with LS. My only symptom is intense itching. Always at night. It wakes me up and will only subside when I scratch. I have scratched so much that the right side of my labia has scar tissue. Every time I cave and scratch I'm reminded of Pavlov's experiment with the mice where they would touch a button that would initiate an orgasm and the mice would continue touching the button until they eventually died. I'm talking eyes rolling in the back of the head kind of relief when I scratch. 

I've read this forum up and down and have taken note of some potential remedies for relief. I was prescribed Clob which did not help and would rather go the natural direction for relief. I've tried coconut oil-it was calming for an hour but then I was woken up to the intense itch. I've ordered aloe vera and hydrogen perox and saline and Wild Yam Salve, and have also started taking vitamins. We'll see. 

So is there anyone else on the forum where itching is the only symptom? I check myself out regularly to see if the LS has progressed. I've included some bio info below in case anyone is researching.
