September is Pain Awareness Month, and we want to shine a light on a lesser-known, but often debilitating, symptom of chronic illness: allodynia.

Imagine the simple brush of a shirt against your skin, a gentle breeze, or a light hug from a loved one. For someone with allodynia, these everyday, non-painful sensations can feel excruciating. It's not just an overreaction; it's a neurological misfiring where the nervous system interprets touch as pain.

What causes it?
Allodynia is often a symptom of conditions that affect the nervous system, such as:

🙁 Fibromyalgia
🙁 Chronic Migraine
🙁 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
🙁 Trigeminal Neuralgia

If you or a loved one experiences allodynia, remember you are not alone. This is a real and valid symptom of chronic pain.

Spread awareness by sharing this post to help others understand what allodynia is.
