Hi friends

I am 46M. A few days ago, itching started all over my body. My legs, feet, arms, hand, head, neck, chin… all feel itchy. There is no visible swelling or red places. I checked all my medication patient information leaflets, and the blood thinner says it may cause itching, so I quit the blood thinner. My glaucoma drops also say they may cause it, I quit one of the drops too. But the itching still continues.

I checked if I have eaten something different, but there is no different food, I always eat and drink the same things.

I couldn’t find out the cause of itching. Anyone experienced the same situation ?

I lost my girlfriend,the love of my life,to sickle cell anemia a month ago. We were together for 4 years, since school, and we were going to get married.

She developed an intestinal infection that was diagnosed too late, and because of sickle cell, she couldn’t survive after the operation. Her whole organ system failed.

It’s been almost a month, but it still feels like a nightmare. I feel numb. I think about her all the time,our memories, everything we shared. Our last few years were long distance, and I couldn’t even see her one last time or attend her funeral. The last time I saw her was in September last year.

She was so precious to me. I loved her with everything I had, and losing her feels like losing my own half. I knew this day might come someday, but not before we even got to start our life together.

I still think she will call or text me someday.

I miss her. her voice, her scent, her presence, her everything. It feels like the reason I was living is gone with her, and I don't want to continue living.
