Painful sensitivity to touch? - eviltoast

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!

    Yeah, that’s kinda the vibe I get. It’s definitely a receiving instead of initiating thing for me, too. I don’t know that it’s worse (because skin on fire sounds awful), but it’s kinda different.
