Hi MM , I'm catching up. Did the anti-inflammatory help? I keep thinking of your phantom pains and wondering what to do for help. My psychological ailments often end up manifesting themselves as physical ones or actually cause me physical pain or damage. But the bad, scuzzy stuff often leaves me with feelings on my body or like someone is touching me or doing something to me even when they're not. It's awful. And I know it's fake but I can't get the feelings and scuzzyness off of me. I have to put my underwear or clothes on a certain way or ten times but it still feels weird. Or I have to cover my entire body with lotion and have polish on my nails to serve as a protective barrier against all the dirtiness.

Completely retarded, I know. It would even make me late to work. How do you explain to your irate boss you had to put on five of the same pairs of pants ten times or different underwear until you found the one that felt right because you couldn't stand anything touching your body because you felt weird, riled up, gross & dirty & like the clothes were someone touching you??? I loooove being a nutjob.
