I stumbled accross your email and want to let you know that my doctor put me on a powder called PREVALITE. It comes in a packet and I mix it every morning with a couple of ounces of water and some juice. I can eat anything and it has stopped the need to go to the bathroom. It is wonderful. Maybe once in 5 months I might have the good old dumping syndrom hit then it is gone again. No pain, no problem with anything I eat, please ask your doctor to let you try this. It is 5.5 grams of powder. It looks like it is for cholesterol but it works. Good Luck to You.
Hey Jennifer, I'm just like you almost. I have read almost all the stories people have wrote. I had no Idea that scab pickin was a disorder. I'm your age 23 yr. female and love to dress up and go have fun, but when it come to clothes on like wearing short sleaves. I will not wear short sleaves. I have to wear quearter legth shirts because I pick so bad It look like I have bits all over my arms. If I do wear short sleaves I will do the same and cover with make up and if someone notice it I will lie and say I went 4 wheeling and got bit up or something like that. I hate to lie and I really want to stop pickin. And I have tryed to quit but as soon as I get it to kinda clear up on my arm I just go at it again and I don't relized what its makeing my arm to look like. Till Its to late.
