Is this common for people who are autistic? Like a sensory thing? I have numb, tingling, burning sensations through my body. I’m told I have small fibre neuropathy, but I’m not convinced this is related.
Its a strange feeling. I had no idea it could be related to being autistic. The senses i suppose?
Can sympathise! Whenever I got one it was a dark room job and couldn't bear to move, the light sensitivity & nausea was rough, it was sunglasses the following day too, listening to the TV rather than watching it! I'm glad I don't get them too often now!
They can wipe out most of a day, and leave you still a bit fragile the day after. Not much fun!
I don't know how old you are, but there's a possibility that once you get past the MP they *might* diminish quite a bit. (the migraines that is - the hormonal thing can cause terrible ones)
I'm so sorry (virtual hugs)
Migraines are absolutely awful I wouldn't wish them on anybody
I have CFS as well and the added exhaustion and pain from migraines is horrible.
Yes, all of those, horrible isn't it!
I get migraines, preceded by visual aura. Sometimes the aura are worse than the headaches.
Yes I think it's a common occurrence for us. I get tingling in my fingers and I also get a burning feeling on my tongue so much
Think this is also an anxiety thing as well :/
Also get migraines which is unpleasant.
I meant ‘both’ - not ‘Bob’! Not sure who Bob is
Bob me and my son really struggle with this. We are hyper aware of some body sensations and get really freaked out by anything new or unusual. It’s no fun and creates a lot of anxiety for us. We’re forever asking my husband (and each other): “do you get this? Is this normal?”.
I think it's common for autistic people to feel things much more strongly than NT people. I'm sure a bunch of what I feel in my body is the kind of thing an NT wouldn't even register.
Sorry I just realised that I posted about this a few months ago and forgot
