  2 0 i actually have a similar problem. I have no idea how to change it though. The way I deal with it choosing shirts that are lower cut or at least have wide neck holes. I often rip off the collar on shirts I just wear around the house. I only a lot or tank top and sleep with out a shirt on. If you really want to change it slowly expose your self to tighter necks and deal with the discomfort you maybe able get use to it if you can tough it out.

  1 0 I've had this problem for over 6 years now and this is the first time I have found someone who has the same as I do. I immediately recognized what you describe here. And don't mind Basil, it's understandable that people think you might exaggerate. I have had a very hard time explaining the feeling over and over again. Nobody will ever understand it until they experience it on their own. But I guess you could compare the level of annoyance to a constant itch. Wearing different kind of clothing isn't a solution, it's a necessity. I have to constantly touch my neck and anything close to a t-shirt will just drive me crazy. Exposing my neck seems impossible at times and resting my hand near my neck seems to calm the beast down. Some days are bearable, some days are not. I have visited several medical experts like doctors, psychologists, OCD expert, acupuncturist, haptonome (I don't know the English word, it's a specialist in touch / feeling). None of them were able to help me. I have also gotten the advice to just not touch my neck or get used to it. I found 2 other persons on the internet who have the same problem (they might both be you): - http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/enmhe/anyone_have_a_sensitive_or_ticklish_neck/ (there's another one too on Reddit) - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090921133814AAVzoHx jsmit answered in Aches, Pains & Illness 9 months ago | Report 2 comments by mizmojo and 장윤선… 0 0 I'm big on scarves- It's just an accessory that I think works for me. Anyway, so a surprising number of people have commented to me that they can't wear scarves. They add, "or turtlenecks." And it sounds like the same type of issue the OP & you have. Just telling you so you definitely don't feel alone on it :) I'd call it crazy common! mizmojo commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 i have had the same problem for as long as i can remember, and for nobody has ever had a good answer for it, i want to study(?) this problem myself. if any of you who read this can help, pleas contact me dbstks0725@naver.com (plus, i am a foreigner, so i am not really good at english some of my expressions might seem wierd, but please just ignore them) 장윤선 commented 2 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Have you tried t-shirts with a more fitted feel? My bf couldn't stand the cheap-o wallgreens t-shirts at all, his fav is this faded glory t-shirt which seems to have a more fitted/ergonomic cut.  Can you not stand mere touching? As in the following image:    I personally can't have a collard shirt like this buttoned all the way up. Honestly, there is only one collard shirt like this in my business casual wardrobe. I can't really stand them either, but I'm a girl so there are pleanty of blouse options.    internet_jen answered in Aches, Pains & Illness 10 months ago | Report 2 comments by jwhazzup and internet_jen… 0 0 A shirt like that would not bother me unless it was buttoned. If it was buttoned, it would be mixed. Depending on factors I don't really understand. Sometimes it would barely bother me at all. Sometimes it would cause constant discomfort. When I mentioned t-shirts, I was talking more about standard hanes type ware. jwhazzup commented 10 months ago | Report 0 0 I'd try something a little more sports oriented. Hanes and Fruit of the Loom are familiar brands but I think their brand recognition is their selling point. My men's small hanes t-shirt feels a lot more restrictive then my other unisex adult size small t-shirts that are meant to be outerwear (souvenir t-shirts) internet_jen commented 10 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Do you have any other physical or mental symptoms? Is the discomfort in a particular area of your neck? On the skin or deeper? Getting worse over time? Have you had your thyroid tested? (It's in your neck.) If this gets bad enough it'll be worth seeing a doctor about, and it would be useful to have some more observations to share. pickled ginger answered in Aches, Pains & Illness 10 months ago | Report 1 comment by jwhazzup… 0 1 I'm getting the feeling right now and have all day. I think sometimes when I sing a lot it's worse. So perhaps it could be something inflamed? The feeling is towards the base, front of the neck, and seems to come from inside, more then on the skin. I have not had my thyroid tested, but perhaps that's a wise thing to try out. I believe I've had this my whole life and at roughly the same level... so if whatever it is hasn't ruined me yet, I'm probably safe, but it could be something helpful to take care of. jwhazzup commented 10 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 3 Stop wearing things around your neck? Basil answered in Aches, Pains & Illness 10 months ago | Report 8 comments by jwhazzup, Basil, and jwhazzup… 0 0 I should wear only v-necks my whole life? I'm also concerned about what underlying issues there may be. jwhazzup commented 10 months ago | Report 1 3 Underlying issues? C'mon. Like you were chocked as a child and now you can't stand wearing tight shirts because you unconsciously feel like you are choking? Sometimes people just don't like tight shit around their necks. Or if you want to change it, you put on tight things and wear them till you get over it. Ta da! Basil commented 10 months ago | Report 0 0 No, I mean, health issues. Maybe something going on in my throat or glands or something. And as I said, it's not just tight shirts, sometimes regular t-shirts cause problems. It's not just dislike, either. It feels terrible. I've tried wearing things around my neck and getting over it that way. Didn't seem to help. Why are you being a jackass about this? You don't have an answer and know nothing useful on the subject. Don't worry about it. You don't have to answer every question. jwhazzup commented 10 months ago | Report 2 4 I was (originally) just being a smart ass, but now I am being a jack-ass, I agree. But if you want a real answer, I can do that: it's all in your head. It's not medical. It's just a personal preference. I can't wear tight things around my wrists because it makes me uncomfortable. You either learn to deal with it (wear it till you stop feeling like you are suffocating) or you just work around it. Everyone has shit like this. Unless you ACTUALLY choke when you put on a turtleneck, it's all in your head. Basil commented 10 months ago | Report 0 1 I agree with basil answer it's probably not a health issue it's a sensitivity. Are you sensitive to other clothes or fabric? Finger Games commented 10 months ago | Report 1 0 There is a very specific feeling involved that is hard to describe. If you haven't felt it, you might not be able to relate. Maybe the thing with your wrist is similar though, Basil? It's hard to say. Particular fabrics don't throw me off, unless they're itchy, like some types of wool. Stuff around my waist can sometimes feel weird, too. I don't know if it's quite the same, I don't experience it as often. I experience the neck thing at least a couple of times a week, especially while trying to sleep. jwhazzup commented 10 months ago | Report 1 1 You should DEFINITELY stop wearing shirts of any kind to bed. Man, I can't even wear underwear when I sleep. It gets tangled up in the covers and I feel extremely claustrophobic. Basil commented 10 months ago | Report 0 0 I have this problem. It's psychosomatic, I don't have any particular health problems, I just really really REALLY don't like having any tie on or buttons all the way up.
