While I do not have the extensive sensory involvement most of you have, I do get odd sensations like the sheets feel damp when they are not or that rain drops are falling on my arm when its not raining. Forget using a fan in this heat, the breeze irritates my skin. Can't wear a bra, waistbands are painful even tho' not tight, have not found a shoe that does not cause problems. I shaved my maltie a few days ago with an electric shaver and it started my hands to fasciulate so fast, they appear to be vibrating and they are still doing it intermittantly. I used to enjoy a nice hot shower, well those days are gone. Water hitting my skin is unpleasant at any temperature.
