High sensitivity from PD

[Beverly2017]

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.

I know what you mean..if you can get him to go with you to your nuerologist or possibly take him to a support group meeting. I can't do this but I've heard it works well.
