Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in awhile and I've been doing pretty well with my HA (fear of a brain tumor, ALS) but I have recently been freaking out about the possibility of getting scabies. I work with small children and in the winter I tend to get dry skin, and it seems every winter I go through a horrible week or two where I'm sure I have somehow contracted scabies. It really freaks me out! When I think about it I start itching all over and can't sleep for fear of having it. This seems like a pretty petty fear compared to everyone fearing something fatal, but it affects me just as badly as when I think I have something far more serious. Any help at all would be appreciated to get me through the winter!
