Yes, It took weeks before I let anyone really touch my head. A year and a half later I can count the people that have touched it.

I can imagine the headache you have

And the hair thing- I had that too. I had to wear my hair down for several months, even had to chop a lot of it off because of the pain. No elastics.

I never thought that I would be so excited to wear my hair up or wear a hat. Lol!

It has slowly gotten better, but I'm still really sensitive if anyone is near my head.
