We do sound alike!
Everything with my body turns into a drama.
The most similar problem I have (other than the fissures that are causing me misery) to what you're describing is a surgical site where I had a cyst removed five years ago where the doctor cut through the inside of the vaginal wall to remove the cyst. It has left me with severe nerve pain. Every time I sit down I feel like there are multiple needles being stuck in there and though I swear the tissue itself must look very raw and irritated the doctor says no, there is just a bit of a scar there that looks totally normal. Female exams and Pap smears have become a nightmare of pain now because the area cannot be touched without severe pain. Anyway, all that to say, you're very right when you bring in the sensitivity issue. Being the same way myself has proven frustrating for me and for doctors over the years. My GI doctor always tells me My brain and central nervous system are wired for pain.
jr, I agree - we do seem very much alike. I have been extra, extra sensitive all my life. --- Oh, gosh, I totally understand your female problems and concerns. I've had four c-sections, and I haven't felt quite right since having them. Recently, I underwent a transvaginal ultrasound, to see what was going on in there - and nothing was found. --- One drink puts me under the table, antibiotics really knock me out, certain foods make me feel ill, I have acid reflux and IBS, I always burn instead of tanning (so I have to avoid the sun), I'm sensitive to loud noises, etc., etc., etc. . . . the list goes on.
This morning my bottom end feels scratchy and a little raw. I know - I KNOW - that something feels awry in there, even though yesterday the CRS said he didn't see anything unusual. I guess I'll spend my life taking ibuprofen and watching myself, even more carefully than I already have to. :(
We're in the same boat. HUGS to you, btw.
