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!

    I have fibromyalgia along with audhd and this actually sounds a lot like my experience. You should look into that maybe!

      I’ve considered it before, but maybe I should look into it a bit more concertedly! Every time I’ve gone into a doctor for a long term condition, they inevitably tell me to take B12 for 2 months and come back, and by that time I’ve usually lost my motivation for doing something about it. 😆
