Sensory sensitivity since chemo?

Leatherette

Has anyone else experienced more sensory sensitivity since chemo? I was already pretty sensitive (had to cut all tags out of clothes, cannot wear wool/animal hair fibers, or certain synthetics), but now I feel the littlest seam or even a little lint ball. I’m 3 mos PFC. I am also a lot more sensitive to noise.

haven't heard of that yet but not at all surprised the chemo ravages our body from head to toe so I'm sure would amplify anything that we already were slightly dealing with. Let us know if you get any info back on if this is a common outcome from chemo.

I had chemo 30 years ago for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and have had super sensitive skin ever since. Tags are horrendous, even the seams across the toes of socks drive me nuts. I can feel small things others can’t (even when the small thing can be visually seen). I do think chemo changes our skin or maybe just makes our nerves more sensitive. When shopping for clothes it’s all about the feel of the garment. If it’s not super soft to the touch I don’t even try it on.
