5Kidz,

I can't STAND t-shirts anymore. I used to sleep in them all the time and had a few favs. But they really, really bother me--especially under the arms anymore. The only thing that I can sleep in (if I sleep in something) is a tank top with wide arm holes. Generally, however, that bothers me too and I end up ripping it off in the middle of the night.

Mom,

What you're describing is what I felt like for a good long time in 2003. I had the burning sensation and I even developed a red mark where my underwear band was that didn't go away for 3 or 4 days one time (and I'm not allergic to anything like fabric softeners, soap, or latex). It happened in the bra area too--where the bottom part goes around your chest. And yes, I hear ya when you talk about the hair being rubbed the wrong way. I could have jumped when the breeze blew the wrong way and went against my skin. Ouchy!!

Hang in there. It sucks.

Neurontin helped me with that kind of stuff. It helped a lot. Of course, I ended up being on about 2400 mg. of it a day before it did too much for me, but I'm off it now and it's all good.
