skin is extremely sensitive to touch. it. started after Covid
My skin is extremely sensitive to touch. I’m miserable. Gabapentin prescribed Doesn’t seem to be working. My hands and arms are the worst. Legs and feet hurt but not as bad. Best way to describe it is when you were a kid and fell and scraped your skin on the concrete . This all started after my 2nd time getting Covid. Not sure if this is from Covid. I’ve seen a dermatologist, neurologist, and a rheumatologist. No answers. I’m so tired of the pain, it’s causing me to lose sleep because of the pain. I’ve put up with this for over a year now. Was grasping at straws to see if anyone else has these symptoms. 😢

Have you had a neurologist do a skin punch biopsy from thigh/ankle to check for small fiber neuropathy? Have you been tested for prediabetes or other viruses? Are you vitamin deficient?
Covid can affect your nervous system in many ways since it is a toxic and destructive spike protein. I started getting a sensitive scalp that would flare every now and then after Covid plus I had new breathing and heart/chest pain after the mRNA shot.

1 ReactionNo I have not had the skin punch biopsy. I go for my regular checkup and will ask my dr about this. I am no longer pre diabetic. I am vitamin d deficient. Thanks for reaching out. I’ll keep you posted.
