Extreme sensitivity to touch
 

Hello, I have type 2 diebetic poly nueropathy. And extreme sensitivity to touch. So bad I have applied for disability. "Think Howard Hughes". Anyone else have this affliction. Doctor says its nueropathy. But I'm not so sure. I go to a clinic and I don't think I'm getting the right diagnosis. And I think I'm getting screwed around, and its gonna cause delays in the decision SSA makes on my claim. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thnx again.

Hi, a piece of your polyneuropathy is probably small fiber neuropathy which does cause extreme sensitivity to touch. For some of us, even the wind blowing or fabric touching us can be painful. Even a shower can hurt. Typically diabetic neuropathy starts in feet and hands, so if you have this all over your body, you could either have out of control blood sugar damaging the nerves, or possibly another manifestation on top of it, possibly something autoimmune?
