Everything I touch gives me a static electricity shock.
I've always been this way but it has got much worse over the last year or so. You name it, I touch it, I get a shock... doors, cars, kids, pets, furniture... shops are the worst if I touch a clothes rail it's painful!
I have to cover my hand with my sleeves before I try to open (or shut) the car door, or any door.
I wear a variety of shoes, from crocs (sorry) at home, to leather country boots, trainers.. no difference.
Is anyone else like this and how can I reduce it? It sounds funny but it actually makes me a bit anxious (I go to pick up my grandson toddler.. and shock him
)
I used to stop watches as a child, if I wore one it quickly stopped working which I wonder if it is related, but either way it's weird!!!
