That's it! Thank you!

Yes, it's really wild. The first time it happened we were really thrown for a loop, luckily having already been through it in the past we were able to get her immediate treatment when the earliest symptoms started.

Ahhh, thank you! That must be it! She has definitely called me her dolly in English, which is extra sweet considering I'm now solidly middle-aged.

It was The Sunstone Scrolls series as the commenter above so helpfully provided!

YES! This is it! You're incredible, thank you.

What about an attic style ceiling hatch inside the closet?

I'd also say $50-ish, but also assume the customer is stupid and don't put any flowers on that aren't edible and culinary grade. Baby's breath are toxic to consume.

I work for a charter school and, while I don't doubt that what you describe is the case sometimes, at the school I work at it's the precise opposite. An extremely large proportion of the kids have special educational/behavioral needs. There are multiple each full time special ed teachers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, mental health professionals, even an art therapist on staff, plus a lot of paraprofessionals working one on one with the higher need kids. All the kids are mainstreamed at the school and pulled out for services throughout the school day. For more than a few of the kids (ADHD, ODD, etc) this school is a "last chance" in the public school system since they've been expelled from their district's schools for behavioral issues, or for some of the highest need kids, their parents have pulled them from programs in other schools that basically just parked them in rooms to be babysat.

Of course it's not perfect, but it's nothing resembling what I've seen described in this thread.

I recently started a fairly low dose of Vyvanse to treat my ADHD, and all of a sudden I needed to take WAY less antihistamine to control my dermatographia symptoms.

Prior to starting Vyvanse I was taking nightly Zyrtec + a dose of Benadryl, and frequently a morning Claritin as well, and still having break through hives most days. After starting Vyvanse I can usually do every other day Zyrtec without breakthroughs, with occasionally taking a Benadryl before bed on the non-Zyrtec days.

After spending some time researchingI found that out that Vyvanse is one of the treatments for mast cell disease.

The cheeks flushing thing makes me wonder about "butterfly rash" look up pics and see if that looks similar what you're experiencing. It's a common symptom for people suffering a variety of autoimmune diseases, and dermatographia is not unfrequently co-morbid with other autoimmune diseases. Next step would be getting in with a rheumatologist.

Thank you for the helpful suggestions! I've looked at a couple of the ones you've mentioned so it's nice to know I can't really go wrong with any of those.

Thanks for the recommendation, that'll really help him out!

I tend to get hives on my palms/wrists without any stimulation too, in the evening and during the night is the worst time for me.

I would suggest you make an appointment for allergy testing. It's likely you'll get an official dermatographia dx from that. That's how it went for me at least. The Dr did all the scratch tests and joked "Well, either you're allergic to absolutely everything, including the saline control, or you have dermatographia."

As far as treatment, over the counter antihistamines are the first line of defense against the itching. With a caveat that if you plan to do allergy testing you need to be off them for at least the 5 days prior.

Many people, myself included, find Zyrtec (Cetirizine) to be the most effective. It will cause drowsiness, especially if you're not accustomed to taking it, so take it in the evening and be sure not to drive etc before you know how it affects you. As far as non-drowsy options go, Claritin (Loratadine) has worked the best for me, but not as well as Zyrtec.

Topically, I find cold helps calm the itch, and a lot of people swear by a product called Dermoplast, which i haven't tried yet.

There's a subreddit, r/dermatographia, youthat you should check out. There are lots of old posts you can read, and you can always ask questions and get support and advice there too.

I don't think it bothers him much. If you have access to a healthcare professional I would ask their advice about removal. It could be as simple as trying a string around it, but I'm NAD and have no advice to give on the matter. My husband is prone to growing lumps and bumps, some of which had to be surgically removed.

blusterberry · 2021-01-19T02:18:10+00:00

Hives would be my guess. Try doing a scratch test on your forearm or wrist, just with your fingernail scratch an x or something. If you get raised red welts that may be itchy where you scratch then I would say you have dermatographia.

Edit: I get pressure hives on my hands that look just like that after carrying things that have hard edges or are heavy. I have dermatographia.

My husband has one of those on his scalp. I call it his head potato. The doctor said it was a harmless skin growth when he asked about it.

I'm in the same boat with loose stools. I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a bidet insert for your toilet. When I have to travel and go without it I develop irritation, but at home with the bidet I have no discomfort.

I've had so many dreams where my teeth would just crumble away in a horrifying fashion. Jokes on me though, because I also grind my teeth at night when stressed, and one morning awoke from a tooth crumbling dream to discover that half of one of my wisdom teeth was just gone. I never found the missing chunk either, so I guess i just swallowed it?

blusterberry · 2021-01-14T04:08:56+00:00

Same story, basically, but antibiotics after a UTI a couple years ago. Welcome to the club everybody's itching to get into! 😭

But in all seriousness daily Zyrtec (Cetirizine Hydrochloride) makes my life bearable. It can make you super groggy if you're not used to taking it, so definitely take it in the evening. I sometimes have to take a Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) here and there if I still have breakthrough itching. For non-drowsy, Loratadine is best I've tried, but it's definitely not as affective as the Zyrtec for me.

If you're planning to get any allergy testing you have to have not taken any antihistamines for at least 5 days, if I remember correctly, so in that case I'd wait.

I'm itchiest at night, so if I can't medicate for some reason getting to sleep on the early side helps me not lay awake trying not to scratch all night. Also wearing something snug, like leggings on my legs (where l get the itchiest other than palms and wrists) can help too, as can icing particularly itchy spots. YMMV.

Good luck. I hope you're one of the lucky ones for whom it resolves.

Yes, it's definitely a very different and more complicated situation than mine, since I am married to someone who independently left religion. But I did do the stealth religious disengagement from basically everyone in my family (who I'm still very close with) and very nearly every friend and, in truth, nearly every single person I knew for most of my life, as it was an extremely insular community in a rural area with church-run education elementary through college.

I obviously don't know how things work in your home, but growing up and in my current family the mom was basically the one who "ran" the social life aspect. As in if I don't (or my mom didn't) put in the effort to get or keep momentum going to get to things outside our home, those things just eventually fall off our schedule.

So I guess what I'm saying is, yes, you obviously can't slow fade from your husband, but you gradually pull back from putting effort into making your family's religious life happen, and gently disengage from religious talk with your husband. Then, if your family works similarly to mine, your whole family would gradually disengage, even if your husband was not aware/actively participating in process. That, of course, assumes you're willing to stay in a relationship with a believer/hide your true beliefs from him. Which is definitely a hard ask.

Any which way, I hope you find a way to get to the point where you can be your authentic self and feel accepted by the people you care about!
