I am nearly 40 and have suffered from Bi-polar Disorder and ADD. I have some nervous system issues I think are a result of having a tumor removed from my spine as a youth. I experience superficial but long lasting patches of numbness all over my body. (the back of my head at the moment) I am trying to identify and learn more about yet another issue that at times is crippling. When I am touched in a number of places like the back of my hands I immediately have an uncontrollable need to put pressure on areas such as my fingertips and elbows. Sometimes my spine feels really strange too. Any input? This is being triggered just at the thoughts of it.
