There are times when my nerves are so active that I wear a loose t shirt and baggy shorts or none at all. During these times there is little I can do to calm it down. I am on the max dose of Lyrica and even that doesn't stop it. I have days on end when I feel like I am being burned by an electrical storm. What works for one may not work for another or what works once may not the next time. Good luck.

I wear soft shirts and pants, and it is possible on a budget. I just bought a a lot of knit shirts from Target that are soft and dressy but not expensive, $8 each and I wear them to work with soft pants from Target, Maurices, and Kohl's. I know JcPenneys has a few soft pant styles too that are comfortable and not sweatpants so you feel better about yourself. I have had this problem for a very long time and everything I wear depends on how it feels. I have to try on everything before buying it. Good luck. I know how hard it is to feel attractive and good about yourself when everything is uncomfortable.

Go for comfort over style. You are ill. Fashion is not as important as taking care of yourself. I have to wear my clothes inside out on bad days because I can't handle the way they make seams anymore. But I admit I don't go to the grocery store that way. But personally I think ladies in flowing, soft material ARE lovely to see! Just because it's baggy doesn't mean it's unattractive.

Tough question as we are all very different when it comes to tolerance. It takes a lot of trial and error to find the right clothing for me. It isn't the fabric so much as pressure that causes me problems. I am quite sure that you can find some clothing that still gives you the look that you want and will be comfortable. If togas were back in style, I'd be a happy camper.

And, I also agree that comfort trumps style every time. You are chronically ill and there is no point in making things worse by wearing clothes that make you physically more uncomfortable. You won't look like a slob wearing a more relaxed look. As long as you are put together, clean and your clothes look cared for no one really notices these days. Take care.

I can't stand anything that touches my neck-collars, necklaces, scarves are out. I wear underwear 2 sizes too big so the elastic doesn't pinch my groin, where I have an old work injury. Forget heels or nice boots-SAS shoes, or easy spirits for the bad ankle that I can't touch. I like scoop necks, or lower necklines, big and baggy too, and elastic waists. I guess we are all in the same "club". Fibrohyg

AlmondJoy - There is no cure for Allydonia. Some people find that Gabapentin helps with that issue. Take care.
