OK, time for too much personal info ... Take cover.
I have days where I have little or no tactile sense. I understand, from a psych my kids see, that this is fairly common with the various sensory integration dysfunctions. It causes kids to cut and slam their heads at times or in my case hittting things hard enough to break bones as a kid.
To deal with these really scary days I have some Rainbow Girlie Toe Socks that I wear to give some extra tactile stimulation. I also put on wool thermal underwear with the inner lining turned out to keep the rough surface next to my skin. Along with a wool horse blanket to wrap up in, I survive, much better than I used to.
Can anyone else claim ownership of a pair of Rainbow Toe Socks?
