How are you today?

I personally am very allergic to wool and figured this out as a teenager from a wool beanie giving me itchy, sore red places. If that’s the case for you I guess it could be further irritating something.

My Scalp's much better now

Do you have eczema? That can give you bad sores. And can come at any age.

And are you brushing your hair with a soft brush?

Hi @Forgetmenot ( I was using a brush with those plastic bristles, but now I'm using a wide tooth comb (to be kinder) I have wondered about things like ezema (my mam had an ezema condition) I've noticed it kind of flaires up after gluten (only on my head though) hope your day is well and new year wishes (and hopes for a nice one and reprieve of fibro symptoms)

 

[Metamorphik]

Today I had my last follow-up with a neurologist. After an EMG, brain MRI, and biopsy, he said my nerves look great. The scariest things have been ruled out. I think what I’m dealing with is very likely fibromyalgia, but I think whatever it is will be manageable. My symptoms skyrocket when I’m panicked, but after hearing this relieving news, they’ve been down to just an uncomfortable annoyance, which I can deal with. Two solid months of fight or flight mode had me in a loop of agony. I was genuinely suicidal. I can honestly say I’m doing much better. I’m taking it easy for a while, and will eventually try to find some suitable work, even if it’s just a few days a week. I’m taking nothing for granted and am starting anew with so much gratitude.

I'm the same @Metamorphik, any stress makes it WAY worse, I love ypur positive attitude at whatever it is being manageable (life can bring random stresses, but we get through)

Anyone else confused like I just was why @Auriel's first How Are You Today?-thread has shrunken to 2 pages?
Cos this is a 2nd one that was started under the same name by someone "testing" who's never been here since, like I thought.... So Auriel, as you got on this first I spose this is "your" thread now too. But I think I'll find the other one for an update...

Yep, I guessed as much. I think gcaforumposting was an "impostor" - knowingly pinching your thread name.
On soundcloud some kid pinched my name altho it's unique.
gcaforum has to do with global cybersecurity, so someone was being very clever , close to someone calling themselves FDAchecking or NHSwatching...
