I was thinking about this the other day T, and I really hate eating when I get the numbness with the hug. I think it expands my skin in some small way, and then the sensation is much worse (just like when we move or do virtually anything). I also feel sick to my stomach, but I think that is a bit of mind over matter (because I know it will hurt to eat).

You described the sensations very well, BTW. Sometimes is also hard to get my breath . . . like the lungs don't expand enough. I also feel as though I have no muscle what-so-ever in my torso . . . I couldn't hold in my stomach if my life depended on it.
