This one will test you. This first started happening in 1977. I felt pain sensation to mere finger-touch on my skin in an area on my abdomen. I went to the doctor and he said something about shingles. Since then, the area of pain has been everywhere on my body at least once. I may go for a year and have no sensation of pain then within minutes, it will show up.

Right now, the pain is located on my left, upper chest and left, upper back. It is the strangest thing. I feel no pain unless something lightly touches or rubs against my skin in the area. Once you move beyond the area, there is no pain. The areas are clearly defined.

If I sit with no shirt on, I feel no pain. If I put on a shirt and the shirt moves, or rubs against the skin, I receive the sensation as though my skin in that area is sun-burned. This should give you an idea of the level of pain I receive when I touch the arear.

There is no visible indication of anything going on. You can't see anything. No marks, lines, coloring, scabs, nothing. You would never know it unless I told you.

It hurts like H E double hockey sticks. The only relief I get is when I either remove my shirt and just sit or I take 800 mg of ibuprofrin (sp?).

One doctor called it migrating fascitis (or something like that).

Here is another example, if the area of pain is around my nipple, the idential area on my back is affected. When my nipple is affected, it really hurts like hell when my nipple rubs against my shirt. The pain is the worst when I go to bed so I always take the ibuprofrin then. I have had it on my legs, arms, face, chest, crotch, you-name-it.

Anyone out there have anything like this.
