Dysesthesia Puns

Anyone have this?

Surface of the scalp pain

Burning, at times throbbing

Almost like the roots of my hair hurt

HatE it, any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have had scalp burning and tingling on one specific part of my scalp for 4 years and the pain has moved 3 times now. From one temple to the other one to further back on the scalp. I experience that my hair hair is shredding on the spot that’s burning and tingling. Then it grows back when it stops. It very painful and becomes worse when I think of it or have anxiety over it or stress. Anybody knows what this is? My reachers has found trichodynia but I don’t know it feels like it is everyday now the whole day. Can there be something else? There is no redness or flaking or pimples on my scalp only the burning and tingling.

Since the beginning of my brain fog I have weird feelings all over my head, mostly on my forehead, between my eyebrows. It's a weird feeling, like slight pressure with tingly feeling. It's a very strange sensation and I don't know how to describe it.

I want to share my story in case if anyone else is dealing with this. When I was diagnosed with SD, I didn’t know that I also had scalp dysesthesia(which I was just diagnosed with couple days ago)

I had so much pain along with mild flaking but I was just given clobetasol for the pain…but the pain never fully went away and was worse some days.

My derm said my sd was actually quite controlled but this pain was more than just sd and I got put on a pill for scalp dysesthesia.

It’s not common and I saw somewhere some people get misdiagnosed with seb derm instead of scalp dysesthesia

After my HPPD I developed some horrible tingling, itching, feeling over insects crawling over my body, feeling my feet cold or burning, etc.

I am worried that this is something else, that could be progressive. I've seen many neurologists and I did all the possible tests for conditions that could trigger this, but nothing was found.

I am hoping this is "just" brain damage caused by the HPPD.

Do you also have anything like this?

Does anyone have experience with this issue. I have had eye pain particularly right in the spot of my bleb. My Dr. believes it to be bleb dysesthesia, and she recommends doing a bleb refraction.

Anyone experience this? I’ve been having pain anytime I move my hair around on my head... I have short hair so I don’t wear ponytails or headbands, no dandruff or dry scalp. I read that scalp dysesthesia can be caused by autoimmune diseases. I never have heard of it. Has anyone else?

Any Docs that are experts on these two things? Came to Reddit as a last-ditch effort hoping to find anyone who could help with this pain (allergic to opioids). I can no longer live with the burning sensation on my torso and the meralgia paresthetica in my right thigh.

Male Genital Dysesthesia

Hi everyone. The specifics of this post only apply to men, but I’m all ears from anyone. I’m so glad I found this group. It’s been extremely helpful.

I haven’t seen this symptom touched upon in any other posts and it’s the worst of all my symptoms. Basically, my scrotum shrinks, hardens, becomes dry and leathery and reddish-purple and stays like that for the majority of the day. The only time it’s not like that is when I’m laying down in bed or sleeping. Dermatologists have been calling it Male Genital Dysesthesia (aka Red Scrotum Syndrome). I’ve been dealing with it for one year now and it’s killing me. It’s ruined my relationship and now my job. I’ve tried several rounds of antibiotics and applied many different ointments to treat it, but nothing has worked. 2-3 weeks before getting diagnosed with Ureaplasma Parvum via urinalysis, this issue scrotal issue surfaced. The Ureaplasma infection has since been confirmed cleared. Back in Oct 2019, my urologist prescribed me lotrisone ointment and instructed me to apply it to my scrotum for two weeks which may have made matters worse, but now it’s a year later and this is still a tremendous issue. Has anyone else experience Red Scrotum Syndrome as a symptom of Ureaplasma or Prostatitis or CPPS? If so, has anyone had any success in treating it or mitigating it?

Thank you!

Not sure if this is related or not! I've had tingling and numbness, but recently started having stinging or shock type sensations on my skin. Mostly feet and legs, but upper body as well and on my hands. There's no redness, no marks, no rash or anything of the sort. No reason to suspect bug bites. It feels like it could be nerves.

I'm going to be making an appointment with my doctor soon to follow up on my lingering cough, so I'll bring it up with her. I'm just wondering if it's something any of you have experienced?

53M, 5'5", 190#. Never smoked, no diabetes, normal cholesterol, slightly high bp. Was diagnosed in 2012 with DISH. Immediately developed meralgia parasthetica, which has never improved. Sometime in April, 2020, I began experiencing severe cutaneous dysesthesia. I sought medical help in August. I was prescribed prednisone and tested for MS. Test was negative and I had a severe reaction called Steroid Induced Psychosis which lasted for about a month. Neuro put me on Vitamin B and physical therapy. After 2 months, I spoke with neuro telling them it wasn't getting better, they recommended I stay with the therapy and b vitamins. My skin began to blister and itch, I was scratching until I bled. Dermatologist said I had vitamin b toxicity, suggested I stop the vitamins and put me on clobetasol. Itchy rash has subsided, however, the dysesthesia is still worsening. Neuro now thinks it's Small Fiber Neuropathy, but cannot get me in for testing for 5 weeks. Meanwhile, the pain from the DISH and Meralgia Parasthetica has gotten worse, and I've had worsening dysesthesia for 10 months. Its unbearable at this point. I called Neuro & my Primary Doc, they both said to "hold on a bit longer". I explained that I have reached no limit, I have no more "hold on" left in me. I suggested that, in my case, the dysesthesia is related to DISH . Neuro said, "absolutely not, we'll see you in 5 weeks". I begged for something to relieve the pain, but was denied. I am allergic to opioid medications, tramadol, etc.. I am hoping someone with similar symptoms might have a suggestion to get rid of the pain now. It's been years with DISH and incredible thigh pain, and nearly a year with this severe sunburn feeling with zero relief. Maybe there is an experienced doc here with suggestions? I am at the end of my rope here and having some terrifying thoughts about ending life here. (I am in therapy for all of this, it isn't helping the pain) I do need help with the pain here, I cannot keep going any longer. I have been all over the interwebs looking for help, reddit is a last resort here - I just now signed up specifically for this.. .. I appreciate input.

Hello,

I'm a 28 year old male ex-smoker (beginning around 2016, intermittently, I've accrued maybe 1.5? pack years.) I have a history of migraine, reflux, scoliosis (mild, right leaning, probably 10-20 degrees max), OA and degenerative disc issues in my neck and back.

I've also got something non-specific going on with my arms/hands - I've had a variety of diagnoses from different practitioners regarding it since I was 12 years old - anything ranging from thoracic outlet syndrome to carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome.

These symptoms began as an aching in my wrists which a chiropractor treated and which came and went intermittently in my life. This progressed to pain in the pinky side of my hand, sometimes pinching, sometimes searing, intermittent paresthesia in the same area, pain in the elbow and up around where the collarbone meets the shoulder.

I think my genetics might have to do with it, as my mother has had bilateral CTS surgery and has pronounced thenar atrophy.

I do recall getting pretty searing pain at points in my elbow and parts of the pinky side of my hands, and recently (~2-2.5 years ago) I've had some more severe symptoms come and go, like my entire arm being numb upon waking up.

I really love using my hands, so even a very minor change in dexterity is something that stands out to me, and I can tell that my hands aren't what they used to be.

My grip strength, both sides but moreso on the right, is affected, typing with accuracy is affected, feeding coins into vending machines is harder, there appears to be (minor) atrophy of the FDI on the right side, and things like my pinky catching on my pocket, it being difficult to use, and my middle and ring fingers resting against each other instead of having the normal separating space between them inform me that something still isn't right with my hands. At the peak of the symptoms my hands would curl up a bit when resting.

The strange thing is, I'd like to see *why* exactly that's the case, and the tests I'm getting simply aren't representing what's going on in my hands/arms. The why is important to me because if it can be treated, I'd like to tackle it. There are moments where, depending upon my posture, I notice improvements, but it's impossible to sustain and makes me question the origin of the problems.

I've had a cervical MRI, x-rays of the hands/back, and 2 EMGs done... Latest EMG showed only minor CTS (44.1 I think was the median motor NCV). Tapping on the bone near

Hey there reddit. OMS-4 here and at my wits end with this problem that has been plaguing me for the past 10 years. I'll be starting as a resident in about a year and I'm afraid I won't be able to function well as a physician (let alone friend, partner, etc) if this goes on. This is going to be a little long, but I would greatly appreciate if someone could take the time to read through and think about his. I feel like it's ruining my life.

Even if you're not a doctor, if anyone else out there has this problem, I'd love it if you could comment to let me know. Despite many internet searches, I don't think I've encountered another person with this specific problem. It makes me feel crazy and alone.

Here's how the problem works:

I wake up in the morning, and rather than feeling rested, I'll have a sense of inner tension, head tightness, muscle (not joint) stiffness. These symptoms will progress over the next couple hours to an often unbearable level. The sensations I experience are difficult to describe (most of them probably classified as "dysesthesia") but I will try. It feels like every inch of my body has this weird sensation just under the skin (like say, at the level where muscle fascia or meninges are located). It's this weird tingly, tight, scratchy sensation. Imaging that you replaced your fascia or meninges with dried superglue, then had it constantly rubbing on the overlying skin and underlying tissues. It's NOT what I would consider pain, but this sensation is so uncomfortable and distracting that it may as well be pain. The sensation is particularly severe in my head (like I said, under the skin or at the level of meninges) and seems to sort of radiate from my head through me entire body. The odd part about this sensation is that if I lay there and focus on actually feeling the sensation at a particular spot in my body, I can't actually pinpoint any discomfort at that spot. I can then move this locus of attention to other parts of my body, and again, no actual feeling of discomfort there. This is opposed to typical sensations which you would generally be able to pinpoint a particular feeling at a certain location.

I want to emphasize just how uncomfortable this feeling can be. It can feel excruciating and unbearable. Totally distracting. On bad days, I'd compare it to what I'd imagine 8/10 pain through my entire body would feel like. It can be absolutely miserable.

Rapid onset dysesthesia of both feet within the last week. Intermittent, usually bilaterally, mostly when sitting.

Today, it’s constant, unilateral right side, with calf cramping.

Job involves lots of pulling, pushing, and lifting dead weight. Most of my excess weight is carried in my gut and chest, with legs and arms being muscular in appearance.

I have not been tested for diabetes in about a year, but from my understanding, peripheral neuropathy usually takes years to manifest. What other causes are there? Especially since it’s generally intermittent, and occurs when sitting more than when standing or walking.

Hello all,
I've had dysesthesia several times in the past, it's a common symptom for me, but this time it's all across the left side of my chest and back and feels much worse than ever before.

I can't sleep properly, I wake up in pain, crying and groaning. When I have to be up and about I can't wear a shirt, it hurts too much. I had to call out of work today because last night was so bad I just couldn't imagine wearing a shirt.
Anything that touches the area lightly starts up a weird tickling pain that stretches across my chest and through my breast and anything that touches me firmly makes me feel like I have a giant sunburned bruise across my body.

How do you deal with this, if you experience this problem?
What medications, if any, have you found that have helped?
I'm at a loss here, it's never been this bad before.

Right now I'm living with a currently undiagnosed condition I believe to be genital dysesthesia. I'll spare all the details but I feel the need to say that this isn't some delusional self diagnosis of a hypochondriac, I've lived with this for almost 2 years now, 9 months of that in essentially hell. I'm aware there is no known cure for dysesthesia, for God's sake when you google genital dysesthesia there are about 5 relevant results. This is partly why I haven't seen a doctor since I found out this is what it most likely is, there's nothing they could do about it and they probably wouldn't believe me.

If everyone here has/is experiencing chronic pain, I know you'll have gone through a lot of the same things I have.

I'm only a teenager and when it was at it's worst one day before I went to school I started hyperventilating, I couldn't stop, it was this deep set sense of panic. It's never gotten bad when I've been outside the house, maybe because I've been overly cautious, or maybe because I never leave the house without paracetamol in my pocket. As much of a blessing as this is, it makes me hate myself. I can't shake this feeling of blame on myself for letting the fear get to me. What do I have to be afraid of? There were times when I was constantly depressed, and I'm pretty sure at least once I thought about suicide, just because I couldn't see a future with my life like it was. To be honest I don't know if I do see a future even now, but I know I'm not going to throw away a chance at one.

It's not as bad as it used to be now, I don't miss much school and I'm trying not to let it take over my life. Most nights I get about 3 hours sleep, and there are weeks where I don't go a day without waking up in the night and taking painkillers.

How do you live with all of the fear and anger? There are days where I'm just captured by this immobilising sense of hopelessness, I'm not an angry person but sometimes I feel like I can't hold it in any more.

I don't know why I posted this hear, there are people dealing with shit so much worse than I am, and there's nothing to actually discuss, but I need to put this out somewhere and this seemed like the best place.

Hi all :) So after getting Optic Neuritis in my right eye back in june/july I have a lot of my sight back but i've had a lot of 'smaller' problems since then - shaking hands, pains in my feet, a second flare up of the ON.

Most recently however i've had pins and needles in my arms, a feeling of what I can only describe as 'static' in my thighs up to my back - and this weekend i've had nothing but horribly sensitive skin - as if it were burning, the only thing could find was Dysesthesia associated with MS - i'm still undiagnosed so I have no idea what counts as a 'flare up' or anything?!

Seeing a neurologist on Tuesday finally after having my MRI on the 17th of July.

Ahh sorry if i'm waffling i'm just in pain and confused and not sure about anything!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Do anyone have uncomfortable or uncontrolled itchiness either all over the body or in certain areas?

I've had this...I guess new symptom?... now for about a week and a half and I'm worried it's leading up to a flair if it isn't already one. I want to bring it up to my neurologist but I JUST had my first Tysabri infusion in the 15th and I'm worried they might think it's a side effect of that even though the itching started before the infusion.

Also, I want to know if this is even a MS thing because I feel so paranoid in thinking that every time something is wrong with me, I automatically blame or think it's MS before anything else.m and I'm trying really hard not to do that. If there is someone else who have experienced this, please let me know and also begging for advice on how to calm it down or stop it altogether.

Thank you guys and girls so much! I've been posting on this app since my diagnosis (earlier this year) and the support has been so overwhelmingly helpful and uplifting. It has definitely gotten me through some stuff, haha, for sure.

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.
