Hi All,
So I've been so good, for so long and BAM! - it's back.
My anxiety.
I started getting itchy hands last week, didn't think anything of it- itched them and it went away but now a week later it's my arms and chest, hands and head.
I went to the Dr, she said it's Lichen Simplex which it's not, there is no scaly skin there is just itching.
I googled it - Lymphoma, kidney disease, liver disease you name it - now I've got it.
The itch is so persistent and actually drives me insane, no matter how much I itch I can't get relief!
Sometimes I'll forget about it but right now - typing this I'm literally itchy everywhere and I feel like I want to cry.
Anyone else get this??
I'm getting blood tests to rule out the serious diseases as I think it's good to do - especially when we know what it could be ... but has anyone, anyone had this and then it's gone away?? It's been a week of almost persistent itch, something is going on with my body but I don't know what!
