Sensory problems?

thanks for your thoughts.

milk used to be my favourite drink. it has never been associated with overheating unless it was warm...

i could possibly be allergic to milk (the possibility is there, just never tested), but those would be much more likely to be gastrointestinal rather than have an immediate effect on my body temp, right?

Yeah, it would most likely be gastrointestinal and wouldn't cause your body to flare up like a light. But then again food poisoning takes on a nice variety of forms, and a good number of them often go unrecognized.

inert viral DNA sounds interesting, maybe i'll look it up

i think most people would get physically hot, then slowly physically cool down, or whatever. in contrast, when i get physically hot (doesn't have to be a large amount - like that warm drink), one of the first things that happens is that panic kicks in, sending waves of sweat and hyperventilating etc. this increases my heart rate, which would probably make me feel hotter, meaning more panic, meaning feel even hotter, etc into overload - i don't seem to have that chance to naturally cool down.

or if i do, my body doesn't kick into cooldown mode very quickly.

Oh yeah, that just reminds me, it could very well be a psychological disorder. Not as in just mental issues, but that your brain is misbehaving. Such diseases are rather vague and not very well defined though.

disease - well, i am supposed to have a high functioning form of autism. does that count as a disease? that's where my other hypersensitivity comes in. at the moment hypersensitivity to heat is my only explanation.

i just never heard of heat hypersensitivity before.

Autism shouldn't really be related to heat hypersensitivity o.O


Again, I really don't know what could be causing it. It could just be your body developing a late hypersensitivity reaction (much like how Alzheimer's disease pops up at age 40) for all we know.
