I have this too and it's so uncomfortable. Mine feels like I'm wearing a wool sweater but it's on my face and scalp too. I'm also afraid it's getting worse. I have RA and have been on many biologics. I often wonder if the medications are the reason or the disease. My allergist suggest taking Zantac 150mg with an antihistamine, it does help.

That sounds more like fibromyalgia. Lyrica and Cymbalta help me a ton.

YES! I get this! Especially on my scalp, neck, and shoulders. It isn’t so much a tingly pins and needles for me it’s just a severe pain/ sensitivity that I can sometimes not touch my scalp or brush my hair! Sometimes I wake up and my arms/hips/knees feel bruised to the touch but no signs of bruising either 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was diagnosed with lupus sleep in 2012, and at first the lupus took my hair out around the edges, then it started thinning in the top, so last year I started taking some Biotin vitamins, it's for hair,skin,nails, and it can also help with your immune system, I take one 10,000 milligram capsule daily with food, and my hair is getting thicker, my edges are still a little thin, but it was almost bald. Now a couple of years ago I started getting sores in my head that itch really bad, and sore to touch, so my rheumatoid doctor had to prescribe some type of shampoo, and a solution and topical medication with a steroid, which can cause your hair to come out, so I don't use it unless it gets really bad. I use some benadryl cream and I take some orally and it helps. I hope this information helps. I pray God will give you strength to go through this, because it's not easy, but with God we can do all things through Him who strengthens us, our strength comes from Him. God bless.
