I am supremely sensitive to almost everything!
The list of things I am allergic to, or that produce unwelcome results is very long.
It encompasses everything from the air I breathe to medicine, clothing, foods and even the people around me.
A conversation with someone can keep me up all night. I pick up on other people's feelings and moods like an octopus in the ocean.
I have always had this sensitivity, even as a child.
The quirk of an eyebrow, the slight change in a smile or voice, the darkening of the eyes. the body posture, let alone the actions of anyone and anything affects me.
I've tried to mediate all this with a small amount of success.
So . . . when my doctor tries to find a new blood pressure medicine, he is up against impossible odds. I have a hard time knowing when my symptoms are due to the medicine or the trauma of needing the medicine, or fear of the medicine's effect on me.
Add two or more problems (like high blood pressure and high blood glucose) and finding the results is factoring not adding.. It is not just one drug or two, but also all the others I take as well as my emotional reactions.
An octopus may have 8 tentacles reaching out, but I have a hundred feelers always ready and waiting.
