  • Doctors disagree over whether a patient with an unrelenting itch needs surgery or if her issue is psychological.

      I want to cut my leg off and have been thinking about it for more than 7 years. I have chronic painful pain on my leg and doctors don't help at all. I've caused myself to get blisters because the pain so bad that I massage it so hard. I can nights without sleep because of the pain. Meds don't do anything about it.

    As someone who has eczema, what the actor portrays is 100% accurate. I would often scratch until I bled all over my body. I have scars everywhere because of it. Thankfully I finally found a solution, by using prescription strength steroid cream. My skin looks amazing now!! But people do experience this itching and it is the absolute worst.

    Man, I so relate to this woman. I have recently been diagnosed with a severe version of eczema. The itch was absolutely insane. I literally looked like a monster had been just chewing on my skin, all over my body. The worst was going to sleep. I could control my scratching while awake but not when I was asleep. No one can understand (unless they experience it) what it feels like to wake up to the sting of open wounds and blood covering your body and sheets 😭 Or when your skin is constantly oozing fluid so you feel both cold and hot at the same time, and it literally causes your clothes to stick to the open wound so bad that you have to peel it off of your skin. Or even when you feel and see your skin falling off of you in flakes, the horror. My mind was so tormented through this that I tried to commit suicide a few times, but I made it through. My skin looks so much better after a number of steroid treatments and a diet change. To anyone going through it, my heart goes out to you. You are still beautiful, and I love and stand with you.

      My daughter suffered as a toddler with severe eczema and for 3 years of all our lives we never slept, I remember one night she screamed so much and had dug into the crease of her elbow until you could see bone. Dr's answers were always give her a bath and steroid cream. we found out on holiday one year the sun helped her so much and a few years later we moved permanently to a very hot climate and Eczema is a thing of the past.

      Sending love to you and glad you are still here with us all ❤️ I have eczema too. Mine used to be very severe like yours. I once had my whole hand blistered it was unbearable. Many nights I would wake up with blood caked under my nails and the fabrics of my pj's stuck to my skin. Mines more contained now, I get it on my wrists, hands and ears and sometimes even my armpits. Used to get it on my face and behind the knees too. One of the hardest times was when I worked in retail customers would always comment on my hands and it would get me down. One person even asked if I had been burnt. People who think we can just not scratch it don't understand if it was that simple we wouldn't be doing it.

      Sadly no, believe me I tried! Thankfully it doesn't happen on a daily basis, but it can be very frustrating.
      I do have weird, but really cool, flashes that happen, though! If I'm doing something and there is a loud sound nearby that I'm not expecting, I get a flash of white light up in the area!
      Also, weirdly enough, if I don't "close my eye" I can't fall asleep at night.
      My eyelids, along with 99% of the muscle and nerves, were removed, so there is literally nothing for me to close, but if that 1% of muscle isn't doing it's thing, it feels like I am staring into the darkness of my room.

      I think trichotillomania is hereditary in our family. My dad and uncle has scalp problems and me, my aunt & cousin got into the habit of scratching patches and pulling out hair. Sometimes at night I'd wake up with hair in my hand or whilst scratching and pulling. Anyways, a few years ago I had a problem with hair growth and I was searching the internet for supplements to help hair growth cause in my mind topical shampoos and products won't work. In my mind I thought I had to "heal" my scalp from the inside. I came across a supplement called MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). I tried that and my hair started to grow again. BUT what I was most surprised about was (I realized), that it took the "urge to scratch/pull" away. From then on I was a MSM fan. *MSM is actually used for joint pain but i somehow saw a comment that said a "side effect" was that it makes your hair grow. So it helps my hair grow, brought back my natural curls and took the urge to scratch/pull away. **Sorry for the long post.😊

    No matter what treatment was given to her, even when she had a skin graft done using skin from another part of her body, she still felt itchy. The problem for her was that she could try to control and not scratch it while awake, but when she slept, she would keep scratching.

I visited them so many times and diagnosed me under the sun. Anxiety, allergies, scurvy,etc. They eventually told me I was a medical mystery because nothing helped me. It eventually went away MONTHS later. It's terrible! Kudos to this woman's acting because it is spot on. 👏

    Never EVER, start talking about a psychological symptom with, “it’s not real”
    It IS real. The brain is sending the same signal it would if there actually was something else there. So of course the pain is real. Of course the itch is real. When you start with “it’s not real” they aren’t going to believe you about the psychological aspect, because they know it’s real, they can feel it. It’s also incredibly dismissive of anyone that struggles with psychologically induced symptoms. It’s not the same thing as imagining something. That’s why it can be so difficult to tell the difference in cause at times.
    The brain is in fact misfiring, just not in the way they thought.

      While the cause of it may not be obvious, if the patient is experiencing a symptom, that symptom is real, period. The patient feels it, it causes distress and has real effects on well-being. The source of the symptom will dictate treatment in many cases (psychological problems may require psychiatric medications as opposed to other kinds of treatment). But you can't just make a symptom go away by saying it isn't "real".

    I once had a very bad case of lice as a kid (super thick hair) and I scratched the back of my head into a disgusting enough bloody mess that I made the same school nurse who saw a bone sticking out of a kid's ankle like it was nothing run to the bathroom to throw up. I asked people to take pictures and show me what my head looked like and they always yelled something like, "H*ll no! You DO NOT want to see that." at me. I will never be okay with that experience.

      I was a support worker in a school with young adults with learning difficulties. There was one girl who had such a hellacious case of head lice that when we were in a cooking class, I saw some of the lice dropping from her hair into the bowl of cake batter she was making. Her teacher threw me under the bus by asking me to give her a haircut to help make it easier to treat the lice. Her hair had started falling out because the lice were cutting off the oxygen supply to the hair follicles. She went from having long hair to a pixie cut and that was because so much of her hair had broken off or fallen out. Her parents yelled at me for cutting her hair and I'd had enough and simply told them, "your daughter has head lice and you need to do a deep clean of your home or they will come back."

    I had my right foot amputated in September 2019 & as weird as it sounds, I still get the urge to grab where my right foot should be, as that’s where I actually feel it happening. Unlike others, I can’t even use mirror therapy to help the pain due to my Aspergers Syndrome, as the way my brain is wired means I can’t fall for that kind of “trick” (& don’t think we haven’t at least tried). Luckily I’m a “pain veteran”, so I can handle it. Besides, it sometimes gives me & my fam a chuckle when it’s a tickling sensation; last time it happened, I had a fit of tearful giggles & even got my big sis laughing when I begged her to “chase away my phantom tickler”! 😂

      I'm also an amputee who never actually tried mirror therapy (it was optional to get the amputation done so wasn't offered mirror therapy) but I find personally if I have phantom sensations in the lower limb, pressing on the tip of the stump and rubbing around the nerve that it feels like it's coming from helps dull the sensations at the very least, if not get rid of them.
      Also gives you an excuse to massage the whole stump with some moisturier so the skin doesn't go dry and flaky :D

    I had a reaction like this earlier this year! I had a cold or possibly Covid (never got tested, just quarantined at home). Well, after I got over it, I started having this terrible itching all up and down my legs. I started bleeding at from scratching. I started making small cuts with a knife just to get relief. I finally called my allergist and got an appointment. My allergist took a look and told me that the cold/Covid had made it so allergy receptors in my legs were confused and constantly thinking I was having an allergic reaction. She prescribed some pills and within a week, I felt so much relief. The itch stopped. Apparently, this can happen anytime you get sick and your body is recovering.

I was born with eczema so nothing can treat it unlike how most ppl only have it during specific seasons. when I was younger I used to take rulers, containers, just anything with a semi-sharp corner and scratch with it and was left with long scratches on my arms legs back everywhere, it went to the point where my teachers thought I was self harming. luckily I learnt to control it and even thought the itch is still bad sometimes I know how to control myself and not scratch it and just let the itch go away
