I have a sensitivity on my left side that makes me jump if anyone touches me. My left side is my tremor side in my left arm. I also slightly drag my left leg but half a sinamet camouflages both. But the sensitivity makes me jump if anyone touches me and it's particlarly hard on my husband. I can't stand sheets or blankets either. Just wondering if anyone else is in this predicament. Any ideas on what I can do about it? Thsnkyou!

Pain perception in Parkinson's disease
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/281...
Parkinson’s patients in unmedicated OFF state tend to be more sensitive to pain.
Thinking is that the lack of dopamine causes the increased sensitivity.
I have that also but it is my legs the are so sensitive.
My husband is getting tired of me blaming everything on Parkinson's .
Not sure what to do about it.
