so ji has a variety of sensory problems including hypersensitivity to sound and light. that's fine.
(this is a weird one. posted in Rubik's cube as i am interested in scientific opinions.)
i am curious: is it possible to be hypersensitive to heat? i am also a long-time heliophobe and get predictably stressed in hot weather or the sun.
i was absolutely fine, heat wise, all day until about 15 minutes ago when: i drank a warm glass of milk. (i like milk.)
and now i am overheating. waves of sweat and panic as i feel like my body is heating up out of control. so i fill a basin of cold tap water and immerse my arms in it for 10 minutes, which helps. i go away for 5 minutes, surf some internet. i drink a glass of cold water, and despite that, i'm still heating up (again).
i have just bathed my arms in cold water again for a minute. i have also just finished sucking on an ice cube and it feels better, but a minute after and now i can feel myself heating up again.
i have had panic attacks before when i fell asleep in the car while my fiance was driving us home on a hot sunny day and when i woke up i was very hot so i started panicking. had a freezing cold shower for a while and that was better.
is this a bizarre sensory reaction or just my homeostasis on vacation?
i have just eaten another ice cube...and i am heating up again.
please discuss, your insights will be appreciated
