I can't deal with this scalp pain anymore...want to die.

I don't know what to do.. I have been suffering from this severe scalp pain and burning, itching, sensitivity, etc... for almost 7 months and am mentally and physically exhausted. Doctor after doctor and no diagnosis. I am sick of hearing that it is anxiety and worrying about my hair. The pain and hair loss go hand in hand so how can they not find something physically wrong? I am loosing my grip on reality and fear that my doctors are ready to send me to the psychiatric unit for therapy. Could this pain be in my mind and the stress is causing my diffused hair loss? I was completely fine one day and the next in pain. I just can't handle not having a diagnosis. It is wearing me down quickly and I am having a hard time thinking that this pain won't go away. I don't want to live like this anymore! I feel so alone and I want to cry and cry... I just don't want to live with this scalp pain and not be able to touch my head. I can't be with anyone because I won't let anyone touch me because it worsens the pain. What am I supposed to do? I am so sick over this and missing work because of appointments and it's financially draining as well. I don't know how much more I can take...

I'm praying for you too! If all else fails, maybe, try sipping a glass of nice red wine. It's not a panacea, but--in moderation--it can be Just what the doctor ordered. ;)

Please hang in there. I don't have the answers that you're looking for, but my prayers are with you. I wish you didn't have to go through all of this. I hate the world because I have AA, and I don't know why or how or if it will get worse. I hate not knowing. I hope that you do get a diagnosis and something to help you with the pain soon. Try your best to love yourself in any way possible. So many of these things are caused or worsened by stress. It's a vicious cycle. . . stressing. . . having all sorts of symptoms, then stressing out even more. If you're feeling alone, then keep on blogging to vent it all out. You'll realize that you're not completely alone. Take care and stay safe. You can get through this.

If pure aloe from inside aloe cactus leaves can heal burns almost overnight, do you think you could try THAT on a test patch of your scalp?
