Ripping My Skin Off!
Ever wonder what it has actually felt like to rip your skin off? I used to when I was a teenager and frustrated with myself. I now, however in my adult years get to feel something I seem to think is an equivalent. Constant burning feeling or ripping a scratching of my skin when I wear clothes. Allodynia is a condition that is categorized within fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is chronic, widespread pain that’s thought to be the result of overactive nerves in the body. You know that disease no one believes is real. Heck, I didn't either until I had my first bout. I had no idea what to think. I had no idea what it was. I thought maybe I might have rubbed up against something and it irritated my skin. At that point my flare ups were very few and far between. Not knowing exactly what it is you keep touching it only making it hurt worse.
