Pins and Needles

I've started having issues being touched almost anywhere, it feels all pins and needles to me. For the longest time it was just my back, and I thought it was just sensitive because of my "bacne" (acne on my back), but that's clearing up a bit and it's still sensitive as ever, if not worse. The sensitivity started to spread to my shoulders, mostly my arm above my elbow. I can't stand to make out anymore, i don't like kissing much more than a peck.

These "pins and needles" have had tolls on my sex life since day one which I feel horrible for. I try my best to enjoy sex and everything, but it doesn't last long usually. If I'm not COMPLETELY focused on it, i lose the good feeling and then just get uncomfortable. I try my best to at least let him finish, but it's not with out a lot of "are you almost done yet"s. Worst part is I'm always the one to initiate the sex, and then I can't finish.

When we are together and intimate, I'm afraid it seems like I'm pushing him away. I worry that if I don't get over this, I could have problems being intimate in future relationships.

How ya doing, buddy?

my friend said to go see a doctor...but I haven't the slightest idea what it could mean or anything.

I guess I should clarify that by "pins and needles" i don't mean it's painful, just uncomfortable and makes me twitch and pull away.

Midna, I think i'll have to consult a dictionary...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

lol, Midna, I tried to clear that up. It isn't the prickly pins and needles that are painful, I just didn't know how to describe it any other way.

Thanks for clarifying. Dictionary.com didn't tell me too much.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

by clearing it up i meant that it wasn't the prickly painful kind of pins and needles, just a mild irritation. If anything i think it would just be attributed to my OCD or something, with not wanting to be touched. I wasn't worried about what it could be or mean, more worried on the effects on my relationships.

I've been meaning to call my doctor anyways for another reason. I've just been waiting for my insurance thing to blow over. My employer just switched over to a new Insurance company and we will be getting our new cards within a week or so. As of now, the doctor's office will have no record of my new insurance so then I will get billed the full amount. I give most of my money to my dad for rent and bills so I can't afford that.

Where it isn't something impendingly urgent, I think I can hold off for my card. Birth Control, yes that was important because if something went wrong it could screw my life up good. This case, it has been going on for some time and I don't think another couple of weeks will hurt me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My issue isn't what it is, it's how it could affect my relationships.

It doesn't bother me unless i'm touched...it's the touching thing. I get uncomfortable.

I was speaking idiomatically.

yeah, I know. I guess the reason I'm so reluctant is because I'm afraid that it will turn out to be nothing and it would just be another silly trip to the doctors. I've already done that for a reoccuring itchy spot down below in my region (reoccuring meaning it has itched every once in a while since my mid-teens, if not earlier). Turned out to be nothing, possibly a pinched nerve. (what was worse is that I had just recently started my BC and was late a day so I was spotting. Thought the spotting was coming from that itchy spot).

But like I said, I have something that I want to talk to my doctor about as soon as my insurance clears up, so I'll bring it up when I see her.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
