Extreme Sensitivity Every Where (Help)

judiev331

Dee,
What a overwhelming load. Your a very strong person! I can relate to the part of being unable to wear cloths. I had these bathrobe that were loose & kinda like a old fashioned MuMU. Around the house thats all I'd wear. If we had a family occasion I'd dress in the loosest of cloths and they HAD to be cotton, anything else was like sand paper. It got better over time. I've had RSD since 1994. For me the pain changed over time.............not less, just different. Some of the things tried helped.......a little.

I wish you luck and a guardian angel.

Gentle hugs
Judie

Hi dee,

Your in the right place. In my opinion you sound like you have RSD or CRPS wichever you like to call it... Around here we call it RSD. From what you have wrote it sure sounds like RSD. you NEED to find a competent doctor to get some type of treatment started.

Let your post "soak" here on the boards a few hours and there will be many, many kind souls to offer advice. This board is a wealth of information on the disease please stick around

Dee,
You are sooo in the right place. I am sorry to hear you going through this.. I do agree with the others It sound to me like you have RSD.. The sweating the itching, sensitivity, burning, all of it are signs. You need to find the right dr.. As for sensitivty end of it.. I have a neighbor who has RSD in her hand, she was injured at work.. I see her walk her dog every morning wearing a while glove on it.. Its a soft cotton thin glove..
I know your confused right now. I don't blame you one bit.. Its the unknown.. I was not diganosed for 4 yrs with it.. The day that I was to I had RSD, I guess mentally it helped me..
What type of meds are you taking right now? Has anyone mention to you the possibility of RSD?
You are in the right place when it comes to getting support.. We're all here for you. Even if you don't have a question and you just feel like screaming go right ahead.. We all understand...
Keep in touch, our prayers are with you....always...

HI,JODIE,Jan,Michelle
What a surprise to hear from 3 of you THANK YOU! THANK YOU!--very much-do you really think this is what I'm dealing with I have had the sensitivity
for 4yrs. Burning the last 1yr. I think it is getting worse every day only one
Dr. has mentioned RSD-I just got back from a UNIVERSITY-pain clinic and a
neure-Dr. What a wasted trip they don't know why I was sent there I left
there in tears-I have had sev,inj in my back and one in the neck they did
nothing for me--have tryed the usual med's including LYRICA-several more
nothing. Right now all that I'm on is a antidepressant-anxiety pill and hydro-
codone the only thing that helps me with is not jumping off a bridge.Water the
right temp. feels very good and as I said warmth--what am I going to do there
Isn't another Dr. around here for me to go to.MY L-THUMB AND WRIST area
burn so bad the sensitivity stays at a 7 to 9 on scale--KNOW CLOTHES-this is
real important do any of you have the sensitivity pain everywhere? wind even hurts me-if i get clothes out of a dryer I can't hold them because
of the forearm's----this is UNREAL-my PDR. He says he has never had
any one with any thing like this--really in good hands huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this board in with any other health boards? just curious. All 3 of you made
my day my responding to my post--THANK YOU AGAIN hope I am in the
right place. FOUR yrs. of this and all of you going through the same thing
please tell me this Isn't true.Wish I could make all of us well.

Dee,
How have you been doing? I was thinking the other day.. when I was laying in bed and my feet were burning so bad.. and I was hot and sweaty. I had the ceiling fan on. but that hurt my feet. I put my feet under the sheets, that hurt my feet.. Then the next day I was doing my hair and I dropped a comb on my foot. Oh my god.. I was ready to die..
I feel so bad for you.. having it through out your body like that.. You really do sound like you have RSD.. I think you need to be on some pain meds.. anti-depres. Right now I am only on Neurotin, Lamictal and tylenol with cod.. I had a lidocaine infushion 1 1/2 yr ago. really helped me out big time.. Iam on a waiting list for another one.. I am hoping it helps me to the point I can possibly go back to work..
Don't give up.. I know its scary. fours yrs ago I felt the same way you did.. I only wish at that time I knew I had RSD.. They kept telling me in was herniate dics.. I said no way in h***.. With this burning, the sensitivty, the discoration, my skin peeled in the palms of my hands.. I had very little swelling.. That part I was lucky. I kept on them I didn't give up. I found a dr who listened to me, who knew exactly what was wrong with me.. As soon as they started my treatments I became a differant person.. The unknown was the worst.. I just wanted a lable.. That meant so much to me.. I swear by the lidocaine infushion.. It did wonders.. I haven't heard anyone else on this board ever talk about it... I know about four other people who have had it and its helped them out too...
I wish you lots of luck.. Don't give up.. it will get better once they have you under control..
