Hi all , “Pins and Needles” I will try to explain my ordeal. Mildness - slight multiple gathered nerve point across my body that’s triggered an stimulated on the skin causing a severe sharp burn due to rise in temperature with a electric feel shocking which is like pins and needles lined from nerve to skin causing instant pins and needles all over . Harsh senario - u cannot sneeze , u cannot laugh, u cannot have a dream that increase emotions that tensions the muscles which causes your heart to pump faster generating warmth, u cannot stand in the sunlight, u cannot approach an appliance that produce static electricity that triggers the receptor nerve on the skin that somehow stimulates the nerve fibre and blood to increase in temperature causing severe tiny red rashes to extreme tiny blisters all over the body within seconds and with ice cold shower goes away with 10mins. Extreme -highest temp increase can cause a seizure, u need 20hours of no warmth an be cooling with cold water to maintain such severe cases. If u use a soap that has chemicals that will trigger the sensation nerve on ur skin it will shock your receptor to affect the blood temp. NB: the soap in its mildest form will trigger it because the body senses are like SPIDER SENSES. If u use a mild soap an your body reacts and it causes your pores of the skin to retract an tension causing a firm skin all over the body an makes the water settle on your skin like the skin turns to leather feel very firm an the pores retract shut with no absorbtion leading to dryness. NB: UR RASH COMES WITHIN 15secs an can vanish in 20seconds because your body nervous system gets into confusion an only reacts to low an high temp change. Due to constant high body temp it can cause heart issues an brain issues, not sure due to high low temps if it will cause blockages. I WISH THEIRS A DOCTOR WHO CAN HELP! If u eat any foods that causes heat build up in tummy it will react. Severe cases u have to breath slowly an never get excited an lay in 100 percent cotton sheets with a damp cloth cold all over your body to maintain low body temp all day its bed ridden and NOBODY will realise how scary this is when only you have it because when you are 50cm away from a human body your senses can pick up their body giving off heat (how scary is that) temperature instantly sensed by your hands. Eg: placed like a mercury bulb as a heat detector sounds so SCI FI but i BS u not people this is serious stuff here . Finally u can reach a stage of having a fit and or relapse due to intense pain an high temp. With pains on left and right top rear of the head. * Just some info I will add on from reading online etc: Skin that is sensitive to the touch is annoying, uncomfortable, and frequently unbearable. Skin pain or tenderness is medically called allodynia, a condition in which one feels an exaggerated type of pain or sensitivity even to non-painful stimuli, such as a breeze. There are different types of skin tenderness, including: Tactile or mechanical allodynia, which is triggered by touch Static mechanical allodynia, which is caused by light touch or pressure Dynamic mechanical allodynia, where brushing the skin triggers pain Thermal allodynia, which is felt with cold or hot stimuli Abnormally increased sensitivity of the skin to different types of stimuli may be a sign of other health problems, such as nutritional deficiencies, nerve problems, or viral infection. Symptoms It is easy to recognize the symptoms of tender skin or skin that is sensitive to the touch. The pain may be localized or widespread, with intense pain that is usually triggered by stimuli that would not normally elicit pain. To test this, you may use a gauze or cotton pad and lightly brush it against your skin. You can also use a cold or warm compress or just the tip of your finger to apply it on the affected area. If any of these cause intense pain or tenderness, or a tingling sensation, then you may be experiencing allodynia. Other symptoms include the feeling that something is crawling on the skin, itchiness, pins and needles, or a burning sensation. Causes There are many possible causes of skin that is sensitive to touch, and it may range from simple sunburn to a serious disease. Here are the possible causes: Overexposure to the sun - This causes a first degree to second degree burn that makes your skin sensitive to light touch. Neuropathies - These are caused by nerve damage, which leads to an increase in skin sensitivity. Neuropathies may be due to diabetes, B vitamin deficiencies, or trauma. Migraine - People who suffer from migraine may experience skin pain even when they are just combing their hair or wearing a necklace. Shingles - Previous infection with chicken pox may lead to a late complication called shingles or herpes zoster. This is a condition in which rashes or blisters appear on one part of the body and the skin becomes sensitive to touch. Fibromyalgia - This is a medical condition that is characterized by a syndrome of chronic body pains, tiredness, sleep disturbance, and allodynia. Demyelinating diseases -These are medical conditions affecting the nervous system, in which the myelin sheath covering the nerve cell is damaged, causing a variety of symptoms, including pain and skin sensitivity. Midbrain defect - The midbrain is a part of the brain that is concerned with evaluating and sorting different stimuli. A defect here can result in tactile defensiveness, which is an exaggerated painful reaction to normal stimuli like gentle pressure or light touch. Treatment The treatment of allodynia or skin that is sensitive to touch depends on the specific cause. Treating the underlying cause may improve your symptoms; however, some of these conditions such as fibromyalgia and demyelinating disease are not very easily treated. Treatment for a condition like vitamin B deficiency may reduce or eliminate the tingling sensation in the skin. Herpes zoster may also be treated with an anti-viral drug, which will also eliminate the burning pain on the affected skin. To reduce your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe a variety of medications. These range from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen to anesthetic drugs like ketamine. Narcotic drugs may also be prescribed, such as morphine, tramadol, or alfentanil, as well as topical pain medications like aspercreme creams or capsaicin. Sensitive or tender skin may be a symptom of a medical condition requiring proper treatment. If you feel unusual skin sensitivity, you may be experiencing allodynia. You should seek medical consult to treat the underlying cause and be relieved of this sensitivity.Treatments IF ANYONE SUFFERS FROM SOMETHING CLOSE. Let me know anything please.
I suffer with areas of heightened sensitivity that if touched or when in the shower are deeply uncomfortable. I also have various patches on my body where I have a burning sensation and frequently get electric shock type pains. I take gabapentin to help with nerve pains. It helps the electric shock type pains but has never improved the sensation pains. Wearing soft, loose fitting clothes can help and tepid showers rather than hot. As I have had them well over a year, my neurologist is of the opinion it won’t be leaving and I better try and adjust as much as I can. I’m not really sure what your question is? If you have these pains go and see your GP, dx’d or not they should be able to do something for you. Best of luck.
Hii…my body that’s triggered an stimulated on the skin causing a severe sharp burn due to rise in temperature with a electric feel shocking which is like pins and needles lined from nerve to skin causing instant pins and needles all over .
Hell fire above! That sure is scary reading. Pity anyone with all that to cope with. Boudsx
Hello, I am sorry i cannot help you, i am needing help and advice too! I have allodynia in my lower legs, occasionally in my thighs. It is a severe unpleasant strong burning pain, constant at a lower level and paroxysmal as well. I take amitriptyline. I have tried adding duloxetine and pregabalin but they did not really help, and have unpleasant side effects for me. I have not found anything that really helps me. Any advice is most welcome. thank you.
