Good morning,

I was diagnosed almost 2 weeks ago.  It’s been a whirlwind.  I go for exercise test on bike tomorrow.  I’ve slept a total of 12 hours in 2 weeks.  Sooooo tired.

Just wondering if anyone has these symptoms?  For over a year I’ve been saying I feel lobsided.  I have a lot of pain in my left side and middle of my spine.  I marked it all up to my fibromyalgia.  Cancer is in my left lung, close to my heart.  No coughing but I have cysts on my ribs that cause me a lot of pain.

Now I’m itchy all over… I last about a hour after my shower and feel like I could rip my skin off.  I’m not eating so I feel sick but nothing even sounds or tastes good.  I know most of this is in my head but the itching is making me crazy!!

thank

  • Have you tried Aveeno? I suffer from dry itchy skin anyway but after my lobectomy the skin around my scar drove me insane but rubbing the moisturising lotion in settled it down, I also use there body wash.

  • It sounds as if you are having a reaction from the shower. 
    Do you take antihistamines?

    I have found that suddenly at 68 I’m allergic to I don’t know what. But whatever it is when in Spain it disappeared. Think it’s pollen for me 

    My daughter used to flare up like you after the shower I had to buy her baby shampoo and shower gel for sensitive skin. Even my washing detergent made her itch. 

    best wishes
