Summary
The person described allodynia flares in which their skin hurt from light touch, even from a sheet, and said they used a damp tea towel kept in the fridge, draped over their legs, to calm the pain enough to catch a breath without any weight pressing down. They called it a tiny thing that got them through some rough afternoons and mentioned it as a past coping method.
