<<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?

Oh My Larry,
I have the same thing. If I'm around any loud noices i.e. car backfiring,
any loud sharp boom, firecrackers and even little boys shooting a cap gun
.......I almost cry.....it really upsets me. I mean like some deep seated
fear inside me. But I must preface that with......if I am aware of the noice
first, it doesn't bother me as much. (like fourth of July, fireworks)
I always wondered why loud noices bothered me so much, I was teased when I was
younger. No one could understand my emotional outburts when firecrackers were
thrown my way. I'm still like this now, it hasn't gone away.
I wonder if TM has anything to do with this? It would certainly explain why I
am this way. Thanks Larry for bringing it up? :-)

p.s. I also wanted to say......I don't have any skin sensitivity, never have.
