Looking for Mike L. He was a friend in FB and my account was hacked. He was a huge help to me. I believe he is on here and active. We have Kayla and Dave as mutual friends. Mike L. If your here, please respond ! My new FB is Marlana HillGilbert. Thank you 

Those skips were probably panic related. It actually takes a panic attack to break us out of sleep mode.  We have to have something jar us out of hibernation!  The heart rate goes back up to get us going.   That sounds encouraging.  

I sent in my heart monitor early last week and just got my call back from the Cardiologist today.  He reports "all is fortunately normal".  For those still dealing with this, I wanted to let you know that I was still having the skips while wearing the monitor a few times per day.  Usually when I first woke up in the mornings.  Still, it was normal.  I can rest easy and move on now.  Thanks for all the great words. of encouragement.

I have had itchy skin in the past and went to see a dermatologist. He attributed my itching to dry skin and told me to use cream daily and to make sure to dry my skin thoroughly after a shower, washing them, etc. He said the worst thing to do is to scratch the itch. 

I guess the site was nonresponsive for a bit.... It's easy to fall into the trap of "Something is still wrong with me even if I know all of this" - we got to specialized doctors as we get older.   You'll need to update us on the tests.   You stick with the known stuff.  The rest is just mind entrapment.
