Post about your health stuff

So, I'm pretty sure I have scabies.Crazy itching in my hands and arms. I've got a doctor's appointment in a couple weeks, and I'm going to try to hold out until then. I think I can, considering I've already spent a couple weeks thinking it was allergies or dry skin or something.

I was going to put off this appointment, because I know I haven't lost the weight he wanted me to (it wasn't even an outrageous amount, just 10 pounds in six month of what will eventually be 100 that I need to lose, and I actually was for a while nearly there but then life stress got in the way and I fell off of doing all those good for me things like eating sort of right and exercising more often than hardly ever), but now I won't. And I might actually see if I can move it up.

Seriously, though, HOW? I don't have sex, is apparently the way 90 percent of people get it.

I'm just really glad all the itching is where it is. Eventually I'm sure I'll be prescribed some topical cream for it, which all the sources I've read from just say to apply "from the neck down." Like, what does that mean for the genital region, though? (Am a girl, here.)

SA
I'll also have to be sure to ask about my cat. I've been using cortizone cream for the itch (and some mosquito bites), but he's a licky boy, and I can't tell you the number of times he's been licking my arm before I remember I've used it and been like "NOO!!! STOP THAT NOW!"

You'd probably be better off asking a vet about the cream affecting your cat than your M.D.

If you are diagnosed with scabies and they give you the permethrin cream for it, do not let your cat lick it!!

Guess I better break out the long sleeves in July...

Scabies can sometimes be transmitted through secondary contact with an object an person with an outbreak has used very thoroughly. It's not usually how an infection occurs, but it can happen. This may be the case with you, particularly considering the localization is in your hands.

As for your cat, I wouldn't worry about the licking of cortisone cream too much. It's unlikely to cause much trouble if it just happens once or twice. Do try to keep the little bugger out of it though.

Thanks; I just checked my schedule and realized my appointment is only a week away. I still might try to call and see if they can squeeze me in sometime Wednesday or later. I'd try to get in tomorrow, but I need labwork done for the main reason for the appointment.

One thing's for sure: Getting a cure for the itch makes me no longer give a fuck about weight-loss lectures.

My skin condition is completely out of control and effecting every angle of my life. No sleep due to itching, blood on my clothes, scars everywhere on my body, skin destroyed on my face, skin from my scalp on my clothes, constantly scratching even in public, creams just make it worse.

It's been like this for three years now. And I honestly don't think I can take much more. It's seen as a minor thing by just about everyone - my Gp, my consultant, my friends, my family. But I'm seriously considering suicide.

I have had one whole night's sleep in the last three years.

If it's psoriasis you might try talking to the folks over at the Inspire Talk Psoriasis community. If it's not there might be a similar community for your diagnosis, or you could try talking to them anyway because they go through some of the same stuff.

Can you get a second opinion from a different doctor? I'm assuming consultant = dermatologist, but if not, see a dermatologist. If you have, try to find a way to see a dufferent one. Tell your GP how seriously this is affecting your life (at least the lack of sleep and skin and blood everywhere parts, as well as any self-esteem issues).

Go see a dermatologist. There are solutions to psoriasis other than just creams nowadays.

My mother has really bad eczema. Such that she always has bleeding/scabs (she has wrecked so many sheets and pajamas) and itching. Her dermatologist has worked a lot with her, and the only thing that really works is steroids. But she can only take those for a short time. There are other things that can lessen it. I definitely recommend seeing a dermatologist. They can determine if it is psoriasis or eczema or something else and try out different things that can help. I am so sorry to hear that it is getting to you so much. I see the hell my mom goes through, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

AYRT I'm sorry to hear about your Mum. My condition is eczema. I've now run the gauntlet of dermatologists. Nothing, none of the conventional treatments work for me. Steroids help a little but they're wrecking my skin which makes it more prone to outbreaks of eczema. I suspect my skin has steroid addiction but theres nothing else I can do.

I'm having some sort of bladder issue. As in I've started peeing a lot. All the time. To the point I can't sleep for more than an hour or two at a time sometimes. It is getting very frustrating.

It might be an infection. You might want to see your doctor or take some Azo pills.

Definitely get to a doctor, if you can. That was one of my early signs for diabetes, and that's really something you want to find out about before it gets out of hand.

See a physician right away. It might not be a bladder issue at all, and it's something you need to deal with now rather than later if that's the case.

Is there burning/irritation involved? When I've had a UTI, I feel the need to pee constantly, but I also feel a lot of irritation (and can't even sleep because of the need to pee). Drinking lots of water helps, but go to a doctor/urgent care because there's a chance it could spread to your kidneys

Do you feel really thirsty a lot? Peoople I know with Type I diabetes describe the onset as constant thirst and a constant need to pee. Definitely something you should go to the doctor for.

Occasional burning. I was tested for a UTI, though, and nothing. I've had a UTI that moved to my kidneys before. Not fun. That does not seem to be the problem, though. And not thirsty a lot. Just peeing a lot, especially in the few days after my period.

Unfortunately, a doctor is difficult as I'm currently unemployed. A urologist is first on my list as soon as I have a job, though.

This is going to be weird, but does your pee smell odd at all? I have kidney stones, and one of the first signs was that my pee smelled odd (from the toxins from my kidney) and I had to pee all the freaking time. I thought it was a UTI, despite that it didn't really burn, but the doctor said no. That settled, then awhile later I passed my first stone, which sucked so much. But sometimes if the stone is small, you might just get a burning. I still get the odd smelling pee and having to pee all the time sensations at times depending on what my stones are doing.

I'm tired and in pain all the time from a combination of psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, a herniated disc and various mental disorders. It kinda sucks.

MY TENDINITIS JUST FLARED UP all over my right hand after months and months of quiet fuck it all. I don't even have my brace with me, since I'm in Korea atm.

My TMJ chose the long weekend to flare. I should've been having fun, instead I was in the ER on Friday night and miserable on Saturday and Sunday. Today was a little better but still in a fair amount of pain. (3 or 4 as opposed to 7, so I'll take it.)

My left leg is feeling okay, though I'll have to see after tomorrow. I have to accompany Mum to the hospital for her second cataract operation, so it could play up, but it wasn't last Friday, so I have hopes, and it's not like it's my payday with me going into the city after doing shopping.

FYI, I have had problems with my left calf muscle. This is beyond my usual weight-caused achy knees.
