dry scalp, skin
Hi,
Interesting. I feel like a human dandrift factory so called my Dr.'s nurse about flaking skin everywhere. Asked if w/ thinning hair, no energy, weight gain from 5 yr. undiagnosised slow onset could thyroid be involved. When i gardened in so Ill. 8-10 hours in summer heat, took scalding long bathes, skin fine, except for hands as mainly gloveless. After 4 weeks called her again, she said yes is ALS, not thyroid. Friends encouraged me to get thyroid test anyway, did so and it was normal.
There are often external corelations to internal maladys. ?true or not? skin tags and colon polops. years ago got skin tags, no one in family ever had b4, they stayed 4 years. After sizeable pyolop removed they disappeared on their own. True 4 me. Have certainly read about certain features that go along w/genetic mutations that cause health problems.
For skin tried many heavy lotions, creams but they did not work. Finally made stuff similar to one that helped hands in Carbondale. It is pure lanolin and olive oil. used to put water souable E in it but trying to keep it simple now. best after bath while water still on skin. Dogs are only too willing to clean this mix off so keep their tongues at distance. Helps w/ my burning feet too.
Don't know if acceptable to bring up another symptom here. If not, I need to know how to start a new thread. For future posts, also how to find place where i add 2 cents. didn't think b4 when typed reply, thought should go back to see if response but when away from forum couple days, just forgot.
This is question I came here to ask. I would please like to know if anyone has this, any variation or not. Husband been wanting me to ask. Don't know what to call it so named it eye anomialies Haven't heard of this at all and am afraid it sounds awful crazy. I have never taken recreationial drugs. If someone described this to me b4 it became my problem, thats what i would think instantly. Some images got me wondering if poor beleagued brain trying to tell me something. If so it has started to shout. I have to ask now as is getting kind of scary. I wrote a few down as there was no way to remember all.
This started happening months ago when progression speeded up. When blinked eyes a very clear scene on back of eyelids. At first interesting, even fascinating. Like pictures I have seen of aurora borealis except that it was water like, with each small drop of water individually distinct. Not like a photo but in motion, kind of abstract, different each time although now & then slightly similar. Later the drops started travelling down, slowly sinking, still pretty colors, detail. Later others started to look like sucked down in blender.
Next were scenes in black & white that looked like still silhouettes of plants with roots. something about plants looked healthy, guess roots & branches spred out. Then a weird, hard to describe moving scene of nothing but 0's, 1's, +'s, & -'s moving up and out from center to all directions in fast, orderly fashion. Later the plant like figures came back, different, altered like root rot had killed. I am long time gardener...this when wondered if message in there.
The changes that bother me are that scenes lately are nebulus & after opening eyes, in peripheral & in front. I woke up yesterday 3 am to vague human shape over me, too close for comfort. Last 18 months haven't had more than 2 hr. sleep at a time, lately a lot less than that. wonder if that contributes to this.
think u can see why i hesitate to mention this. funny farm and ALS...oh no!
