Woman Scratches Through Her Skull: The Itch

i have a tooth that is loose from periodontitis and the gum surrounding the tooth itches like mad. I've lost some bone do to the periodondtitis and will probably have to have the tooth extracted. I wonder if the cause of the itching feeling is similar to this lady's.

She's obviously a reptoid alien or some other alien hybrid.

Only thing I can think is that there was an infection because she had been scratching for so long. I would be surprised if this is fake, but also if it is real. If she scratched for a year or two above the hairline mebbe.

So I'm not the only one getting itchy? This is for my fellow sufferers:

Just stop when you hit bone.

She met me at the door in a wheelchair; the injury to her brain had left her partially paralyzed on the left side of her body. Read more www.newyorker.com...

How far must you scratch to be partially paralyzed? Pretty far to me.

me thinks she didn't scratch IN, some nasty thing had hatched in her head (thus why she was itchy.) It grew some and then dug itself OUT!!! Bah ha ha - THAT should give you a nightmare!!!

I'm having trouble believing this to be true also.
Surely to get through the skull she would HAD to have had a tool.
If it was anything like above, or any tool for that matter, then surely she would looked liked she had just emerged from 'nightmare on elm st.' upon awakening?????
I'd imagine her pillow & bedding to be a bit of a giveaway.
Not just some greenish fluid running down her face?? Makes it sound like a slight discharge ,lol.

Yeah, well, will be sleeping with headgear tonight.

Horrible story, but thank you

OUCH... i think i just hit something...

Is there a name and possibly pictures of this so called woman?

Sound very implausible to me if I'm honest and I'm not taking this seriously until I see a name, read a doctors or any similar professional journal about the matter and see some pictures.

Either do I. I'd say the skull would wear out the fingernail first. And the amount of blood would be huge.

More chance of being done by ETs than a fingernail.

btw, it is green. its called cerebrospinal fluid. i would want to see a drug test before i take her up on her claim that she woke up with it. that sounds like pure PCP. ever hear of the woman that scratched through her ribcage and started scratching her heart?

brutal stuff, that. thanx for the story.

still... pcp. or something equally powerful (absynth, '___') normal brains prevent that kinda thing with a little miraculous thing called pain. you dont wanna feel it till u scratch through your own skull...

That's sick lol. Thanks, now I can take the information you mention about PCP and use it in my hypothetical torture repertoire, this opens many new doors for me.

Sometimes I hate how my mind works and I sicken myself haha.

if she has a husband i bet he makes her put on hockey gloves b4 bedtime now!

Many of you seem to not want to read this article, because you do not want to learn anymore horrid details. Reading the article, would most likely, alleviate some of this disgust that you have acquired.

Apparently, this woman had been on a downward spiral of depression. From the details in the article, it appears that in her mid 20's, she had all she wanted: A degree, good career, husband, kids, home. (Suburban Mayberry type of life). That all changed.

This was not a simple case of all being just fine and dandy before sleep, and then waking the next morning with this wound. It is much more than that.

[color=CFECEC]By the time she was thirty-two, her marriage had disintegrated. In the divorce, she lost possession of their home, and, amid her financial and psychological struggles, she saw that she was losing her children, too.

Within a few years, she was drinking. She began dating someone, and they drank together. After a while, he brought some drugs home, and she tried them. The drugs got harder. Eventually, they were doing heroin,

she had contracted H.I.V. from a contaminated needle

she developed complications from the H.I.V., including shingles, which caused painful, blistering sores across her scalp and forehead.

Supposedly, she had cleaned herself up a bit, but heroin is a nasty drug. To me, it is much more conceivable for someone to do this, while during a heroin blackout. Even if she had gotten completely clean, this is still not wound, that was created during one night.

[color=CFECEC]It was right after a shingles episode. The blisters and the pain responded, as they usually did, to acyclovir, an antiviral medication. But this time the area of the scalp that was involved became numb, and the pain was replaced by a constant, relentless itch. She felt it mainly on the right side of her head. It crawled along her scalp, and no matter how much she scratched it would not go away. “I felt like my inner self, like my brain itself, was itching,” she says. And it took over her life just as she was starting to get it back.

OP's Link

im still thinking pcp if she was into the hard stuff. unless she really wanted heroine to deal with a heroine pain. even addicts can switch it up. ive heard that pain on heroine is unreal once you actually feel it. which leads me to the other nasty stuff that is known to cause stuff like this

Eeewww! I think I'll pass on reading the whole story. *shudders* Ick!

The only way that I think that this could even be possible is if she already an infection in that area causing the bone to be compromised.
