Subject: puzzled re. recent diagnosis Recently I saw my primary care physician and described to him what I felt to be neurological disorder that I have had as long as I can remember, but has recently started to interfere with my day to day activities. The best way I can describe the problem is an oversensitivity in my neck that feels like I am being tickled even when nothing is touching it, that prompts me to hold my neck with my hand to relieve the sensation. Recently, however, holding my hand to my neck has not provided the usual relief, and I have even been awoken twice by this sensation, that seems to originate on the surface of the neck and persist on the timescale of minutes. The more I try to forget about it, the more it bothers me. I have a younger and older sibling with the identical problem, although neither of my parents seem to have the problem. The doctor feels that this might be a symptom of OCD, and has referred I'd really be interested if you have insight into this disorder, Anyway, any help/suggestions for relief would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance. | |
