Allodynia: Anyone else sensitive to touch?

Hi. I'm fairly new to this blog. I have allodynia on my back since it started abruptly (hence, I don't think it's diabetic neuropathy, as I understand that starts slowly and progresses, though I am diabetic) last January. Gabapentin helps keep me sane.
What is PRC? I will ask my doctor if cymbalta is worth a try and not contraindicated as I take a load of meds already.
Thanks for the info.

Hello @andiedeluca1949, welcome. So glad you receive some relief from Gabapentin. Sanity is key!

Thanks for asking what PRC is - it stands for Pain Rehabilitation Center which is where the Mayo Clinic offers a 3 week pain rehabilitation program at each of their 3 locations. PRC is a fantastic learning experience that focuses on the four pillars of physical, behavioral, emotional and chemical well-being.

Here's more about the PRC program:

In addition to medications that treat allodynia and neuropathy, what self-help tools have you tried or find benefit from?
