Hi everyone wanted to introduce myself. My name is rose am 42 and u have 5 boys. I suffer from severe health anxiety. :( I've always had anxiety but I developed HA several months ago. I can pin point the cause of mine, my mom died of lung cancer that spread to her brain. She suffered for almost 3 years I took care of her and watched her pass. If was the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. Now I am having so many physical sy.ptoms manifesting within me that I fear the worse, these past few days I've had feelings like something is crawling on top of my head, on and off pain behind my eye, forehead pain , pain behind ear, my dr dx me with fibromyalgia. I was on xanax and Zoloft for a few months and it seems line since I've been off my body is going thru all kinds of weird things, I feel like I'm losing it and yet I g to keep it together cuz my kids need me, I try to b strong like my mom was but there are days that I can't take it, on top of all of this I also have a special needs son that ive been caring for 10 years the first 2 was a fight to keep him alive. My PvP is tired of seeing me she says it's the fibro and all in my head, I finally made an appt to see a neurologist but the sheer thought of having an MRI or ct scan of my head sends me into a more panicked state, God help me I can't live like this, this is not normal. My friends tell me i have grief stored in me that is manifesting physically because of my mom. At this point??? I just want to feel better:(

The crawling feeling on top of your head is definitely neurological. The first thing that came to mind when you decribed your symptoms was ( Lyme Disease) . You are very smart seeing a neurologist. All medical professionals look at your situation differently. A neurologist looks at your nervous system. And that needs to be the focus. You may have gotten bitten by an infected tick. Let me ask you this... did your doctor even test you for Lyme Disease? It would be ashamed to k ow that a simple treatment of ( doxycycline ) could have saved you alot of greif... because it really i's just that simple . Of course you would have to take strong doses for an extended period of time but, you could get resolution. Your doctor should be ashamed of themselves if they haven't considered it.Ask your neurologist for that blood test just to be sure. Good luck. Keep me posted.

I get this too sometimes. Not so regular but when it does happen I think to wash my hair. Washing my hair hasn't always stopped it though and has left me wondering what it is too.

Hey, what if the medication you guys take effects your nervous system so much that it can also cause those symptoms ?

I'm not on any meds other than cbd oil, I refuse to take any more meds. As for lyme disease I haven't had any tick bites that I'm aware of.

Cbd oil! That's so cool! What's it like? I would love to try a nataral remedy instead. I am currently not taking any hit g for my bipolar disorder and I think that this would be for me.
