#allodynia
I am ABSOLUTELY RAGING, pals. When I had my stroke the medical team knew a) I had fibro b) I’m hypermobile.
Did anyone bother to mention I was at risk of increased allodynia because of (a) and potential claw toe because of (b).
No, no they did not.
ABSOLUTE FUCKERS - having issues with both 🤨😒😡

My foot recently joined the pain party and started hurting to put weight on my heel.

My excess skin makes it hard to find clothes, but not as hard as my allodynia from my fibromyalgia. Touch can hurt, and I have far more skin than I need or want. Less skin, less pain. That’s what I need. 🧵

Managing #Autoimmune condition has been an increased challenge the last few weeks with added stress of what is happening in #Minneapolis. Its like a game of whack-a-mole with symptom flares from hypnotic jerks to allodynia & paresthesia to severe bursitis & more. Just trying to get through.

I told my rheumatologist about one of my symptoms and she goes “ oh, that’s allodynia” and I’m like “ actually I did know the name because i googled it once 👉👈”

She said it was good I had done research. Most doctors hate that.

Oh, that makes sense. I'd say I haven't had a migraine this week, but maybe one's coming? I have a lot of nerve problems, and this could be anything from aura to allodynia due to fibro/small fiber neuropathy.

It's happened before, but I never thought to track it. I should do that.

Daily migraines also hurt me. And so do my other major joint pains from my lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia (allodynia is part of that).

I just do not want even more pain.

Ibuprofen helps some, but it can also cause high blood pressure.

Fucked if I do, fucked if I don’t.

I wish healthcare people understood that some of their requirements hurt me too much as a person with allodynia and chronic pain.

Blood pressure cuffs are incredibly painful for me. I ask for wrist cuffs, which they never have. Of course my BP spikes? The cuff is fucking hurting me.

I 'only' have right face, shoulder, and neck allodynia, and that's enough of a bitch. I can't imagine full body. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Even a q-tip brushed across my right cheek causes severe pain. No sleeping on that side. Have to be careful how I fix my hair. No makeup.

I kind of can. Full body allodynia, bad enough that air pressure is a factor.

I'd choose a chair without headrest and arms due to allodynia (pain caused by stimulus that wouldn't normally elicit pain, such as from the slightest touch or pressure) caused by the severe stress caused by assessments. According to this non-scientific, judgmental b*stard I’d be judged as ‘OK’.

Could be allodynia (nerve sensitivity especially in the scalp/face, sx of migraines) causing the pillow touching to cause lots of pain? If you have a neuro definitely mention the sudden changes!!! And keep a log if you can since things are different!
Highly recommend Ubrelvy if you can get it!

My body revolted against me today, likely finally caving into the last week of stress. Started in the middle of the night with the worst pain flare, with allodynia as a bonus, but just one of the worst fibro flares I've had in a long time. Meds not managing well but trying to power through.

idk if anyone can relate but I have some weird... I think it's allodynia pain... half the time I touch the part above my lips. Like if I don't touch it, it's fine. If I touch it, it feels like I'm being stung. This isn't all the time tho

I cannot stand weighted blankets. I have allodynia from my fibromyalgia, and even gentle pressure can hurt my skin.

Welcome to this crappy club, friend!

(My Fibromyalgia causes tactile allodynia and it feels like sharp needles etching into my skin. It sucks!)
