Or for a more down-home expression, "I'm on my last haptic nerve"...So if one is exhausted from a very touchy-feely day, on could say, "I'm just about done in by my haptic day".

haptically swimming along
I thought haptic was a totally different sense than touch. Like when you are swimming laps in a pool and you get the sense that you are almost at the other end and start your turn, that's using your haptic sense.
