My main complaint regarding my ms has always been pain.
When I tell people that I hurt to the touch, they look at me like I am crazy. And I am sure most people in my life think I am exaggerating the pain outright lying about it.
One of my biggest fears going to the doctor is having my blood pressure taken... anyway..
I recently came across a website that had information about allodynia. I had never heard this term before, and honestly I don't understand why my neurologist has never talked about it.
Here is a link if anyone is interested

Simply put it is experiencing pain from the slightest touch.
It seems there are some meds you can take to help.
Has anyone ever heard of this? Are there meds that can help?
I guess I am just hoping to one day not have to live with pain in my arms, legs, shoulders, neck, hips... come to think of it... pretty much everwhere..
