Painful sensitivity to touch?
Painful sensitivity to touch?
Just wondering if anyone else experiences this. Things like my hair laying on the side of my head or bracelets cause a medium-intense aching pain on my head or arm. Some days, I'll have a pretty bad headache just from wearing a shirt, and I'll occasionally just have to take it off. It sounds like a milder form of allodynia, maybe? I know touch sensitivity is definitely a thing, but I've never known anyone who experiences it quite this way. It definitely scales with how well rested I am, too.
Anywho, I've tried searching for this before, but it only somehow just now occurred to me to ask my fellow neuro-spicies if this is common. Thanks!

When I'm super tired, really over stimulated, have a migrane, or have far too little sleep my skin can be extremely sensitive. I just can't wear a shirt or move my hair. I can feel the temperature and soft breezes almost burn. It's not exactly like a burn but I lack the words to describe the sensation.
I already know that I have sensation issues though so I've never looked too hard into it, but at least you now know that other's get it too!
Yup, and that's mostly what I was looking for. I just kinda assumed it was an autism-related sensitivity thing, but it's nice to have confirmation. Thanks for sharing!
