What can I say? the less clothes the better! I notice a small but still significant shift in my feelings of well-being when I go from long pants to short pants. I do better when I'm not wearing shoes. It's not due to heat regulation - doesn't matter if it's cold or warm.
What can this be due to? I can think it's allied to MCS - even know I'm wearing all cotton clothing. But it could also be just an overall hypersensitivity. I can't grow beards because the curly hairs are too painful against my skin. There's a book called something like Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Tight etc. about a disorder called 'Sensory Defensiveness' that has real parallels to ME/CFS. There's a problem called allodynia that's common in FM in which the skin reacts with pain to light touches.
I think there's something in common here. For me not wearing clothes helps!
