I used to only get that feeling when I was getting or had the flu. Then it became a common symptom (of what turned out to be fibromyalgia).
I can still judge the severity of a fibro flare by how sensitive my skin is. If I can't bear for my husband to even rub his hand over my arm or back, I know it's a bad one.
I'm not saying that your symptom is the flu, or fibro, or unrelated to diet. For me low-carb actually tends ot relieve the symptom (and high carb can trigger or worsen it).
If you suspect low-carb, you could try to raise your carbs a bit and see if you get relief. Different people have different "sweet spots" when it comes to carbs.
For me, too many carbs and I get yucky health problems and symptoms. Too few carbs and I also get yucky health problems and symptoms (though I'm learning that my "sweet spot" is a lot lower-carb than I would have expected).
