I don't know what it is the last few weeks (months?) but nothing I wear feels right. I don't mean nothing fits, as in too big (ha) or small, but nothing is comfortable.

I hate all my shoes, my socks are either too tight, too loose, too thin, too thick, too something. I'm always yanking or tugging on something, or changing to a different pair of pants or shirt. Even my underclothes feel weird, like I'm wearing somebody else's clothes.

I HATE it! It's driving me crazy. I can't afford to keep buying a bunch of clothes just to find out they're not "right" either. I don't THINK it's psychological; I think it's because all of the MS and other medical type issues I have going on. But then, maybe it IS psychological. Maybe it's some kind of claustrophobic thing, who knows?

The only time I'm really comfortable is in my nightgown, and then not very. I am so pathetic.

Sounds like someone is showing up to thanksgiving dinner naked!

I know the feeling. I had about 2 months where I could not stand anything touching me including clothes. which is why I spent the majority of that time in my old man pj's.

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

My clothes don't like me, either, B2Y. They conspire against me and shrink......then giggle behind my back (I've heard them) as I struggle to get into them.

Since it's getting dark at 5:30 PM now I love it........an excuse to get into my nightgown before supper!!

I'm all about comfort now. Gone are the days of fashionable strappy sandals and heels. I still have most of them.......can't seem to force myself to get rid of them all.....but I don't wear them. One of these days I'll donate them to someone who'll get some good use from them.

My favorite thing to wear now is sweats. Stretchy sweat pants and soft sweatshirts. And soft terry socks. Nobody sees me but me...and the cats....and so far nobody has complained.

BTW....I hope you can find something comfortable to wear.

I thought I was the only one! Mine do that too!

I don't know whether to laugh or weep as I read these responses. I'm sitting here nodding my head! I'm going to try to make a composite of some of the posts to use as a reference sheet for those who don't get it (which is most people)

I've tried to describe it to my daughter who SO wants to understand, but I hear myself saying, "No, it doesn't really hurt. No, it doesn't really 'bind'. No, it doesn't scratch or chafe or any of those things. It's just a sensation that I can barely tolerate some days." And when I focus on it (I try not to), I can't breathe. Grrrrr.

You are not alone!!! Any touch is less comfortable (clothes are much less comfortable). It's neurological. I can feel fallen hairs on my arm, yet I can't walk or use one arm. It's like the muscles won't work but nerve sensors over-do!!! Autistic children (very neurological) get very upset at labels, etc. I found my self cutting out labels for me.

I also find myself cutting out labels. I have only three pairs of shoes that I can tolerate. I ordered two more pairs in the style that I like, and wouldn't you know it, they are uncomfortable. The manufacturer changed them slightly. And bras are the worst! Although I am also uncomfortable if I do not wear one.

Count me in the club! Around the house, I wear cotton pj pants and t-shirts (men's white t-shirts that you buy in pack of 5). If I have to go anywhere it sometimes can be exhausting and frustrating getting dressed. On those bad sensory days, my bed can look like a big heap of laundry as I have tried on all sorts of pants, shirts, socks, etc. You get the picture.

I used to wear pj shorts and tank tops to bed. I can't do that anymore. The feeling of the skin to skin contact on my legs drives me crazy and the touch of the sheets on my arms does the same. Now I wear the cotton (smooth - can't have any texture to it) pj pants and the men's t-shirts to bed.

And bras . . .don't get me started. With the constant hug, which acts up to varying degrees everyday, I hate wearing them but need to as I am getting older and things are going south. Several months ago I bought new bras that were comfortable at the time. Recently, they are anything but. Target had some Hanes ones on sale for $2.50! I tried them on and I'll be danged if they are the most comfortable bras I have ever wore. I bought 2 of them. Hey for $5.00 you can't go wrong. I cleaned out my closet and dresser the other day and seriously I had over 10 bras in my drawer. All because they feel better at different times. Heck, I have more bras than pants/jeans. LOL

I am the same way with shoes. Nothing confining or tight. That basically means flip flops all the time.

B2Y - You are so not alone on this one and I agree with whoever stated it was neurological. It is a sensory thing. When I filled out my SSDI paperwork I put in there that there are many times that all of sudden my clothes are so irritating that I need to take them off, immediately.
