For those with hypersensitive skin PN'ers/Mrs.D : Is there a supplement that work for this symptom? Do you have any suggestions, other than wearing silk, fleece and 100% cotton dresses?
I am trying so hard to maintain my sanity but its making me nuts My feet are equally bothersome (which is going now halfway to my knees,) but between the two, I can be compelled to accept the painful feet but this jabbing, stabbing pain in my skin is too much. Thank you. |

I use a TENS unit at low setting that partially distract me from the hypersensitivity and helps "take the edge off" when it is especially bad. |

I use CVS fragrance free anti-itch lotion which helps a little. |

I'm wondering now about the furniture I'm dealing with. Both my chair in the office and chairs and sofa at home are made of a pretty rough material, so maybe i need to think about buying something smoother. I sat on a friend's cushiony, plush leather sofa and it didn't seem to bother me too much. It looked pretty expensive though. The whole situation sucks if I let my mind go there. |

I am still not sure what triggered it, but it is about 75% reduced, primarily confined to the back of my legs where it started. I do find it worse if I sit on the new microfiber loveseat which has a fake suede finish, and the symptoms started when we first got that. Just weird. |

I carry large silk scarves. I can put over shoulders and move to around legs when sitting in chairs. This would be when I am out of house in waiting rooms.

Thanks for the tip mrsD. Is the memory foam pretty easy on the skin? I guess I could put som sort of pillow case over it if it bothered me. The ice packs work, but I'm not sure how good it is for my body to be 'iced' most of the day.
