[|Human|] my mother must be having a sensation like there are nails in her head and she is says that she can pull them out and it feels better but they disappear when she pulls them out.  It starting with her scratching.  She has rheumatoid arthritis and this started after going on medication for it.
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your mother. The symptoms that you have mentioned are suggestive of somatic delusions/ tactile hallucinations. I would have wanted to know if she is on any steroids as part of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms your mother is having can be independent or as a result of steroids. Please consult your physician who prescribed the medications regarding the same. Further a psychiatric consultation will be needed. Brain scanning might be needed to rule out any other underlying disorder. Your mother will respond to anti-psychotic medications like risperidone, quetiapine, etc. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
