Hey again,
I'm seemingly continuing to be full of symptoms. So I pose two questions of a similar vein;
1. Has anyone developed hives randomly (my only allergies are shellfish and sulfa drugs so I stay well away from those) on their body, specifically mostly around their abdominal and back area. Any number, but often just a single solitary hive? For no reason at all. Sometimes I just wake up with one and I don't know why or I'm doing other non-stressful things and boom, itchy hive. I do get more than one at times, but it seems to be a 75/25 split there.
2. Neuropathy. Now I did notice during high stress times this did get worse. I do have some back issues (I have three curves from scoliosis and two bulging lower back disks, L4-L5 and L5-S1) but have noticed a serious uptick in sensation from neuropathy. To explain mine, imagine barely touching your skin and it hurts, not quite a burning sensation, but definitely really painful, clothes hurt, even loose ones. This generally happens for me on my legs (up to my rear) and arms, but also feet and hands and very rarely on my midsection but it does happen. Currently my right side is being significantly worse than my left, that changes from time to time, it definitely tends to pick a side. Can an uptick in stress and anxiety make this worse or does anyone have experience with that happening to them where it became worse?
Side note - I have a very difficult time telling when I'm stressed, anxious, or depressed because it is so very normal for me has been my entire life as I've been through hell since birth. Unless something is particularly capable of putting me in a more obvious state it seems my body just acts of its own accord now. I say this because I am going through an internship from a stressful school situation and am caring loads of un-dealt with stress from the last year and a half, nearing on two years, as I haven't had time.
This includes the passing of now 10 people in my life, several who I was very close to and one in particular. My boyfriend getting a rare stage four cancer that involved me being his sole caretaker for a year. My kitty becoming very sick and having to nurse her back to health and still deal with her health issues (insulin dependent diabetic with gallstones and IBS, just coming off another bout with pancreatitis).
Keeping it short (haha), I won't detail further, but it's a lot and I literally haven't had time to process the passing of a single person or anything I went to because I had to survive and am continuing to do so. Moved to a new city for a school I got into and am now a month into the 5 month internship portion and it's hard af, it's software engineering. I'm just curious with all of that if I could just be so overwhelmed my body is being a complete whack job and causing issues like this among others.
Thanks for reading/listening.
