Default Allodynia sucks

Echos & Bluesfan

You're both quite descriptive. Even though I don't experience foot pain, I can empathize based on your descriptions. Bluesfan - I'm sorry your F&F don't get it. I guess we are grateful they don't, right.

I've stopped trying to describe it to friends and family as I know they just don't get it.
I've got that on the right arm. It's miserable.

I have desensitized it just enough to where I can wear loose 3/4 sleeves. So generally I'm freezing in the winter or in air conditioned places.
