So I don't know why but my HA is in full flow at the moment it seems to be one thing after another.
We are in the process of moving house and I am worried about my Dad not being well so I don't know if that's impacting on me but I seem to be in full checking mode!
So for the last week I've had itchy skin on and off. Not all over but my arms and legs and that prickly skin feeling.
I'm not scratching in my sleep and when I'm distracted I don't seem to notice it as much so I thought it's probably a combination of anxiety and the fact I've been using a new shower gel at the gym. I have really sensitive dry skin so it's not unusual for me to react to things. I've stopped using the shower gel and it doesn't seem as bad.
Anyway fast foward this morning I looked at my eyes and thought they looked a bit yellow, so cue me going round the house looking in every mirror. In some I thought there was a tinge in others I thought they looked ok.
So I then have a complete melt down, full blown panic attack thinking I've got jaundice and the itching is because I've got some terminal disease affecting my liver.
I managed to pull myself together to take my son and his friend out for the day, came home and said to my husband I think my eyes are yellow, he promptly laughed and said "ermmm no they're not". I then got my mum to check and my dad who all laughed and said "what are you on about they are white".
I'm trying to explain that I think they look a bit yellowy in certain lights and they just think I'm insane. They reckon if you had jaundice if would be fairly obvious and you wouldn't have to scrutinise your eyes in different lights to see it as it would stand out like a sore thumb.
So now I don't feel as panicked but I still keep checking, can anyone relate to this, I honestly feel like I'm going mad!!
