i am 24 years old....my shoulders, arms, back, and legs have been very sensitive to touch.....if someone was to lightly grab my leg it would feel as if it was frogged. i used to love getting my shoulders massaged,now i cant bear the pain....i have these episodes where my legs hurt so bad i can bearly walk....during these episodes i sometimes get migranes.....the episodes some times last several days and come on very suddenly.....any insights would be greatly appreicated

Have you looked at the fibromyalgia board? There are people there that have the same symptoms you are describing.

I'd suggest you see a good internest and get checked. While it may be FMS it could also be something more serious and you will want to rule everything out before you get an FMS diagnosis including a nuerological disorder or MS.
