I keep sliding my hand across my bare arm.

It feels like there is a long piece of hair on my arm. I wipe, but it still feels like it's still there. So I wait and wait until this crazy symptom ceases. For me, patience is key in coping with this.

  2. Musikntheair You are definitely not alone with this feeling! I've experienced for years the nagging feeling of a stray hair only for their to be nothing there! It's maddening, I've even shaved my head hoping it would help. It didn't, but I looked amazing!

    After so many years, I stopped looking for the hair and just accept the sensation. I hope you find something that helps you with it. 💜
