Default My tickle nerves are gone too!

I find nerves fascinating, just reading all the different views here. We are all very different yet the same. It's strange what we can't feel and even strager the things we can feel. I used to be very ticklish, not anymore. I was told that my tickle nerves have died, which is ok, I hate being tickled. Yet, if something is just barely touching my arm, it sends chills through me.

At least we all understand each other.
Interesting that I used to be extremely ticklish too Deb! Now I am so afraid to let anyone touch my feet, I wouldn't know if I was ticklish. Except for my neurologist, no one but me has touched my feet for five years! (Well, I'm not counting the times my granddaughter has stepped on my toes, or the times I've banged them into the table legs and broken my toes and not known it until I take a shower and see that my toes are purple! )

Also, I never used to be squeamish when I saw someone fall down, or have a cut. Now, when I see a cut or someone get hurt, the nerves in my feet get a surge of pain in them! It's really weird!
