Jovvo.................I have that symptom that you describe.......loss of body sensitivity. I describe it as having a layer of something like ladies stockings covering the body............I can tell when someone is touching me...............but it is very muted as you have described. Mine started on various areas of the body then eventually spread to include my whole body. I admit it is not one of my worst symptoms...............but it just feels really really weird and was quite concerning to me in the beginning. I had a multitude of neurological tests which all came back normal........MS ruled out.....etc.
