I don't remember ever being sensitive to touch, but especially early in
my onset I was very sensitive to sounds. Doors slamming, a plate or
something dropped on the floor seemed to go straight to the bone. Its
not as bad today but if some unexpected loud sound startles me I can
feel it like a vibrating sensation in my spine.
I just wondered if anyone else has this happen?
