    Welcome to the Forum. I have also had this as one of my many sx in the past.
Are you currently dx w/ MS or in the testing stage?  Have you mentioned this to your doctor?

     Thinking way back....and knowing what I know today......one of my first sx I ever
had was sensitive skin. It hurt for the wind to blow on it, It hurt for water to touch it,
for the covers to be on my skin had the same feelings.  I lasted for about 2 - 3 weeks then slowly dissipated. I had NO idea what it was. I mentioned it to my doctor and he looked at me as if I were a coo - coo!

      I hope you can get some answers. Are you on meds now?

I get this the sunburned feeling too though mine started on my legs. I am on Gabapentin for this and it did help in the beginning but it has started elsewhere (my feet and my hips), my GP says to up the Gabapentin so see if it helps and if not she will change me to another kind of tablet, the name of which escapes me at the moment. My neuro authorised the tabs but the GP gave me them before the letter came through maybe you could speak to your GP or your MS  nurse?
