I miss jeans (Levi's) the most...I have worn Jeans and a t-shirt all my life..I cant wear shoes or socks or stand sheets or blankets on me, and if my Husband rubs my back by going up my spine then it puts me in a spasm that is very painful..I hate it..but I don't want my Husband to stop touching me.

One thing I did find is that I sure can't wear jeans anymore because the denim causes immediate pain and leads to painful spasms. There are a few other fabrics that do the same thing. The safest is lightweight cotton knit. Jeanne

I think that this is something that most of us suffer from at some point during our TM lives, skin sensitivity against fabric, and it's the worst when we are trying to get some much needed sleep.
I have purchased so many sets of sheets and blankets over my TM years (T 8-10, 6/1/99), and I have had this sensitivity for most of that time. It started as sensitivity and is so often PAIN. I've gone from egyptian cotton, very good quality flannel, jersey (like T-shirt material) and all sorts of thread counts of cotton. In sheets, I think that most of the time, my most comfortable sheet happens to be the jersey. I'm not saying that I can always have my legs against them, because I cannot, I lay on my back many nights with my knees bent so nothing touches my legs. Blankets are much worse, so you need to get the most comfortable sheet you can near your skin. If you have any "old" pajama bottoms, those are also some of the most comfortable, or I wear the short ones.
I've bought some microfiber plush pants this year from OldNavy.com and they have been warm on my legs and haven't irritated them. I am very much looking forward to warmer weather when I can wear short pants all the time and not being uncomfortable.
