Thank You For Taking My Question. I Have Lost 85

Thank you for taking my question. I have lost 85 lbs in 7 months, this is a major

accomplishment for me, but I have noticed some major skin issues. ANY thing that

touches my skin feels like 1,000 knives stabbing me at all times. I though it was my

cat allergy, so I covered all my furniture and it still persists. I am in tears nearly all

the time. If a strand of hair touches me, it sends me into a paranoid frenzy. The

seams on my clothes feel as though I have 3rd degree burns adhering to a bandage.

I even researched Shingles, but I don't have pain, just a miserable burning! My

friend said it is probably a chemistry change with the weight loss. I have never hear

that, so I am asking. (I don't have insurance and cannot afford an office visit right

now) PLEASE - PLEASE HELP! - could the weight loss cause this?
