Not so "Funny" question

Is anyone else extremely ticklish?

I have always hated to be tickled and since the onset of my Chiari symptoms it has become unbearably painful. My teenage son only has to gently poke my waist and I'm a nervous wreck that he's going to tickle me (all done in fun). During the rare pedicure I've had the "relaxing foot massage" has been torture for me.
Certainly not a serious issue, but it suddenly struck me that this might be Chiari related.

I have always been very ticklish, at it's worst people could even wiggle their fingers at me and it would make me laugh like I was being tickled. The laughing does lead to sever pain in head, coughing and gagging.

I'm not ticklish - when my brothers & I were little, my dad used to tickle us until we cried.  He thought it was funny.  I guess he wore the tickle right out of me.

I love having pedicures, but, if they're not careful, they hurt the soles of my feet & my ankles - no giggling involved!

Hi....I was always very ticklish....not sure that I have grown more so as symptoms increased......in fact I had a foot massage, never thought I would enjoy it as I thought it would tickle too much....well it was wonderful...and did not tickle......

Not sure if this is a change or not...hmmm
