Creepy Crawlies

[aujus]

Wow, Where do I start? I am 38, I have had cervical cancer and ovarian cancer both before I was 32. Had a hystorectomy at 33 because of it. Can't have hormone replacements because of high risk for breast cancer. Have low thyroid and inherited miagraines from grand mother and mother.
Now I am beeing treated with anti depressants, thyroid meds, anti anxiety meds and miagraine prevention (topomax (topamax)) and treatment (Imetrex) Oh yeah, suprise, I am on high blood pressure pills too.
My question is, I have started having the creepy crawlies all over and am not sure if it is the migraines the thyroid, or one of the meds causing it. Any ideas?

So many of the issues you are citing could be caused by celiac/gluten intolerance. I know because I've had many of them (low thyroid, headaches/migraines, anxiety, creepy crawlies, etc.). I recommend you do some research online on celiac/gluten issues and get tested for celiac (testing is done through a doctor, but there are false negatives and many doctors are uneducated about celiac ... that's why 97% remain undiagnosed) AND also get tested for gluten sensitivity (www.enterolab.com). Just know when you look online, that no two sites will list the same symptoms and no two individuals will have exactly the same symptoms. Here is a link related specifically to the creepy crawlies and gluten ... scroll down to the entry on "Your Brain on Gluten...". http://thefooddoc.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html I lead a celiac/gluten intolerance support group and I was doing a search for one of our members and found this article. I'd be happy to answer any more questions. One of our members even has high blood pressure when she eats gluten accidentally, so that could be related as well.

All the best to you,
