angrry

Hi. Has anyone had any experience with itchy skin? I mean all over. Arms, legs, back, chest, head, face, hands and feet. Not there all the time and not everywhere all at once. It comes and goes. I’ve had it for about a week now. My dr sent me for bloodwork to check liver and pancreas etc. he has also sent a request for allergy testing. I know serious things with the liver and pancreas will show up in bloodwork but it will not show lymphoma which is my main worry. Unfortunately my dr has a family emergency and had to go away for 2 weeks. I won’t see him for my blood test results until May 9th. I’ve had itchy skin in the past that lingered for some time and it was never determined what it was. Back then my focus was always liver or pancreas ca. I never even thought of lymphoma back then. Now it’s all I can think of. I’m really struggling to stay calm with this. It’s just another worry added to the stress I already have from my aortic aneurysm diagnosis. Thx for reading. Any help or advice is appreciated.

I really wish this site could go back to the way it was....lots of members online, in the chat, I miss so many of my friends that no longer come here. There are so many days i need to go into the chat room and interact with people because i'm feeling very anxious, but there's never anyone there anymore....it's quite sad

Finally 2 months after my dr requested it I got my ct date. Next Wednesday at 6:55am. Trying to think positively and keeping my fingers crossed.

Ty Ironman. I’ll take a look for that. I’ve been using Tylenol, Advil and excedrin. None of them seem to help much. I bought voltaren today. Ill see if that does anything.

hi...hope everyone is doing ok....my issues are still there....headaches and neck pain continue....it's now been 5 weeks since my dr requested the ct scan....still no word....i bought a cervical pillow and have been going for massages on my neck and upper back....slight relief...but not much....in fact after the massage the neck pain is worse for a few hours....apparently this is normal...but I have no idea...anyway....hopefully i'll get my letter this week with the appt date for the ct scan....take care everyone

thx Stealth....I just dont think I can go to one...been to one once for several weeks, he was a complete scam artist....i just dont trust them....

3 weeks now since my dr requested the ct scan. Still no word when it will be done. Headaches continue along with neck pain and tinnitus. Getting very very worried. The longer this goes on the more I fear a brain tumour.

ty Stealth...haven't been to one.....don't really trust them....just gotta wait for the ct and continue with the sinus treatments and massage and hope they work...also gotta hope the ct is clear too +

Hi everyone.....quick update...still having daily headaches. Still waiting for a letter telling me when i am going for my CT. Headaches are mostly across my forehead or over my right eye. I go to the gym and the workouts don't make the headache worse. Tylenol, excedrin etc dont really help. My sinuses do feel a bit irritated, maybe that's it, who knows. I'm going for a massage on my neck and upper back this morning, hopefully that will help a bit. Still pretty worried this is something serious like a brain tumour.

Hopefully the specialist can provide a positive path forward. A friend of mine has Parkinson’s. He was telling me there is a new medication out now and he will be starting on it soon. Apparently it’s far superior to anything that has been available up to now.

Hi Ironman. Haven’t had the scan yet. Waiting to hear when I get to go for it.

well...here is a brief update...I saw the physiotherapist yesterday. He did a number of tests and his conclusion is that I had BPPV that resolved on its own. The dizziness/vertigo is gone. I am still left with the mild headache in my forehead area and top of my head. Neck is pretty stiff. I'm still waiting for a date for my CT scan. Still pretty worried I have a brain tumour.

ty Deanna....trying to think positively...i hope you feel better soon too!!

ty Ironman...i'm hoping its a combination of sinus, inner ear and tension....the smoke in this part of Canada hasnt been too bad overall...i've been using nasonex, singulair and claritin for the past couple of days...not much change yet tho

ty Stealth....i'm really hoping it's something as simple as that....but my mind is telling me different....i hate that i'll have to wait so long for the ct scan. Hopefully the physiotherapist can help me feel better. It's be nice if the headache would go away tho
