Wow. I am so sorry for ur pain. 25 years... U r strong. I was looking for a kindred spirit, thank u. I was sad to hear the allodynia gets worse. I already burn on every inch without anything touchin me, but when I get rubbed it's worse and lasts. I was really hoping this would be one thing that improved iver time. I was going to start aqua therapy this week in the hopes of reducing this, but if it worked I'm sure u would have done it.
