Hi there.
I am suffering with what I can only describe as hyper sensitive skin. I have had this problem for a few years but only in one area (scalp or arm) at a time and only for a day or so. I put it down to my anxiety.
It feels like it's burning and feels very sore. It is extremely sensitive to touch. So much so that clothing is really uncomfortable. However it's sore with clothes on or not. It's a strange feeling - it almost feels tingly too (kind of electric) and it makes me want to move constantly.
However a week ago I started to get the sensitivity in huge areas of my body. Right now I have it all over the front of both my arms, my left shoulder and my left leg.
A few months ago I started having numbness on the front of my right thigh and accompanying that the same sort of sensitive skin sensation. I still have that now - it has never gone. My GP thought it was likely a trapped nerve.
On top of that the last few days I have become very lightheaded - all day long.
I'm hoping this is just anxiety related but I am REALLY scared that it's something worse like a tumor or MS or some brain disease.
I saw a doctor today and she said that it may be due to some deficiency so I am going for blood tests a week on Friday.
She thinks the lightheadedness is unrelated and probably due to sinus issues I currently have but I my sinus's are a lot better this week after being prescribed some nasal spray.
Does anyone else get these symptoms? I really need to know that I'm not alone with this.
Thanks for reading.
