Hi John,
Thank you for your response and suggestions. What kind of pain management are you referring to? Medication? My husband has tried various medications for fibromyalgia, but he is so sensitive to medications, he is not able to tolerate the side effects which cause additional problems for him, such as insomnia, digestive upset, nausea and sedation, without significant relief of symptoms. Do you know of any doctor or clinic that specializes in treating symptoms of allodynia? We live in the Washington DC area and sadly have not been able to find someone who has deep knowledge of allodynia. We are also wondering if there is an allodynia association that might be a resource. It is so sad to see people suffering from this with not much information on how to treat it. Thanks again, John.

Hi @mindfulness, Here's a video posted by @rwinney in another discussion that talks about Central Sensitization and the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Program.
