Thank God - Someone else has it too! I'm not crazy!!!

Two years ago I experienced the shingles on half of my scalp, forehead and in my right eye.

I have not had relief since then because it developed into a full blown problem of a scalp condition that no one could really see (other than when I dug a sore into my head to get these pieces of "whatever" out).


I have had lesions that looked like someone cut my head open and I never did anything to produce it!


It feels like bugs or worms under the skin and even raises the skin just as a worm would. Two biopsies - one produced a diagnoses of psoriasis and the second just traumatized skin.


Three dermatologists and two physicians all wanting to put me on anti-psychotic meds.


I cannot sleep at night and never get relief from the itching, biting feeling, pain, tightness and just plain discomfort!


I cannot have a social life because the only way to find relief is to keep my head wet and to constantly move my scalp and press on the nerves where it hurts.


I have problems with my eyes with a glue like matter in them each morning, and that same matter coming out of my scalp particularly at night.


My teeth seem like they are separating and my forehead crackles and pops when I press on it because the same build up is under the skin.


I have tried everything and my hair is worn out from the meds and shampoos that have been prescribed or suggested. I have bald spots on my scalp and cannot comb my hair because it hurts so badly.... I pray and others have prayed for me - I feel like Job from the bible... will it ever end?


I don't want to be around people and fear that I would lose my job because I can't leave my head alone! Will someone figure this out please!?
