Somatoform Disorders
« on: February 02, 2007, 01:54:43 PM »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatoform_disorder

Both my mother and I seem to have a version of this- she breaks out in hives when extremely stressed, and I have spots on my hands that come and go (occasionally on my fet as well, occasionally itchy but not always) that a doctor told me (after I explained everything, including the non-presence of new allergens at the onset and the fact that using Eucarin, the best lotion out there for excema, did jack shit) was probably stress related, nonharmful, and basically inexplicable.  Both my parents and I have had nervous tics that have come and gone (only once for me, but I'm only 20, I bet i happens again).

Not to go all wrong planet here- I don't think it has anything to do with AS- but has anyone else experienced this?  I ask only because I'm pretty sure nobody I know IRL has had this happen and don't really want to ask, but we've got a large-ish population here and plenty of you guys have crazy stress in your lives.

BTW, the symptoms are not new, I just kinda popped onto it when I was wikipedia'ing.  I started manifesting what I refer to as "my stigmata" almost exactly one year ago- on my 20th fucking birthday.  Yeah.  Birthdays don't go well for me, I guess.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

My mother had this.  She said she was allergic to stress.  And during her wedding she broke out in hives.  She could draw little shapes on her skin with a fingernail and the shapes would appear as a hive.  She told me it was kind of fun flashing my father with little drawings on her.

So, that's where you got it from...

Brain anurism(it was really alcohol poisoning(probably in combination with those pain killers she used for phibromyalgia) but my dad is sensative of that possibility).

I'm not sensative about my moms death but aren't we supposed to be talking about fun hives?  (I want those kind of hives btw, that is some nifty shit)
