I feel my whole body all at once. AS related?

Post Reply New Topic

Today, I feel every cell of my body. It's not like my body feels bad or anything. I just feel it completely all at once. And it's very VERY annoying. Like when I go outside, it's not that cold, but I feel that cold in an extreme way. It doesn't feel colder than it is. I just feel it so much.
I don't know hot to put it. The problem is not the bodily senses or the outside world. the problem is that I'm too much aware of my senses.

can this be AS related?

Sensory issues can go along with being on the autism spectrum. I have, in addition, been diagnosed with "sensory processing disorder," and I constantly feel the way you describe - like I can "feel every cell of my body." I can feel my pulse everywhere, I can feel my organs shifting inside of me, etc. and it's extremely bothersome and distracting. I am also extremely sensitive to cold and to all of my other senses (e.g., I'm often very bothered by noises that other people don't even pick up on, or by bright lights, or by certain smells). I wish I had a solution but in all of my searching, I have yet to find one (except for when I'm prescribed narcotic pain relievers for things like surgeries; medications like oxycodone seem to numb the sensation, but that's not exactly sustainable or recommended). Sorry, I wish I could help

But yes. It definitely could be a part of how your AS manifests.
