I found this in About.com this am:
Quote:
Pain caused by touch is called tactile allodynia, while pain caused by movement against the skin (i.e., the brush of clothing) is called mechanical allodynia. Temperature-related pain is called thermal allodynia.
I think I fall under the mechanical allodynia. I often call myself "the princess and the pea"...I can't stand things touching me sometimes, not all the time. Some days I can wear a necklace, other days I can't stand it touching me, or it weighs too much...can't stand sleeves touching my elbows, hate pants touching my legs, shoes can't be tight in any way.

Then I found this website about headaches and allodynia...very interesting. I hope it's ok if I post the link, if not, remove it:

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
