We keep her house very clean and have never found one actual bug on her or in the house. Please help. She is in total misery! She has always been one to get stressed out easily, even when younger. Could this be a stress issue? Does anyone have a remedy? Thank you!
Both of my aged ladies insisted that they "heard" and "felt" what they thought were insects. One was sure the carpeting was infested; the other could "hear" bugs clicking quietly near her head.
Both, unfortunately, had restricted blood flow to the brain. This can often alter vision, hearing, and odd skin sensations. One passed away of stroke at 83; the other of the same cause at 94.
I'd have her see her doctor soon, to narrow the diagnosis and bring her relief. Even if the "bugs" aren't real, they're real enough to drive her crazy.
Doc may prescribe warfarin and/or other blood thinners as well as a statin; or other meds if she does have botfly or other parasite of the scalp.
