Re: Is it just me or is it the WIG
Europa too funny take the covers on and off without waking up that is hysterical!! At home one minute I am turning the heat up and the next I think OMG it is freaking hot in her so the heat goes down! It does suck when you are trying to work and in the back of your mind all you can think is MY HEAD ITCHES! I did notice the barely shadow of hair I have now is very soft so the texture has changed. I am waiting for it to have a growing spurt!! LOL, does that happen??? I have looked at my head and it doesn't look dry on top, and I think if I put something on it will it somehow stunt the growth of hair?? When I go home the first thing I do is take off my wig and scratch it for a bit and it stops itching. I rub it now out of habit just feeling my head, and I think I know every little new hair growing just from that.
Starwish2 I really do not know the difference between Armidex and Tamox but I am right there with you WHINING because no one else really wants to hear it because they don't get it. So I am whining on here it is like group therapy for me!! We all get these little or kind of big aggravations we must go thru for the "Cure"!
What does everyone else put on their head for itching?? Lord, knows I am going thru radiation now daily, so I don't even want to make a doctors appt with a dermatologist, but I know my rad doctor would give me something for my head. I am a frequent visitor at the Pharmacy, and my pharmacist knows me by name I keep her in business! hahaha.
