I would normally NEVER reccommend declawing a cat, or even support it, that is my personal opinion.
But having read your other posts and knowing what the alternative would be, I think this is a better way to go.

The only thing that I wonder about, is that if your cat is itching so badly that she's creating severe damage to herself, I would wonder how she would be able to cope with that sever of an itch without being able to relieve it? Of course, itch would be better than tearing herself apart though.

You said this all started when she was up in your attic for two weeks? Do you have fiberglass insulation up there? That stuff is VERY itchy... I know that was a long time ago, and this is a long shot, but have you ever tried SHAVING her head to toe (a skin close shave), and then washing her naked skin and applying ointments?
Just a thought!
