Hi. Has anyone had any experience with itchy skin? I mean all over. Arms, legs, back, chest, head, face, hands and feet. Not there all the time and not everywhere all at once. It comes and goes. I’ve had it for about a week now. My dr sent me for bloodwork to check liver and pancreas etc. he has also sent a request for allergy testing. I know serious things with the liver and pancreas will show up in bloodwork but it will not show lymphoma which is my main worry. Unfortunately my dr has a family emergency and had to go away for 2 weeks. I won’t see him for my blood test results until May 9th.  I’ve had itchy skin in the past that lingered for some time and it was never determined what it was. Back then my focus was always liver or pancreas ca. I never even thought of lymphoma back then.  Now it’s all I can think of. I’m really struggling to stay calm with this. It’s just another worry added to the stress I already have from my aortic aneurysm diagnosis.  Thx for reading. Any help or advice is appreciated. 

It's just a matter of getting the visibility.  The site was down for some time, as was the sister site anxiety-space.com.  I try to check in every so often.

I really wish this site could go back to the way it was....lots of members online, in the chat, I miss so many of my friends that no longer come here. There are so many days i need to go into the chat room and interact with people because i'm feeling very anxious, but there's never anyone there anymore....it's quite sad

It is possible.  It takes thought retraining.  To not react to things the way that could cause us anxiety.

I joined this site 12 years ago and left when it went through a bad patch. It now seems to have regained some of its activity. It was a vibrant and busy site back then, and I do see that there are still many posts. There is still a great need for those with anxiety to find a 'home' where they can talk to others in the same situation, even more so in today's atmosphere. Many years ago when I had GAD there were no PC's or anything other than books. To be able to communicate with others who were going through anxiety would nave been great, but like so many I thought at first I was alone. I wish everyone on the site all the best. Contrary to what many think it is possible to recover from anxiety given the will.
