My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

    Synesthesia. I can see sound. Really neat, actually.

    Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay

      (Irish ancestry here: Letting them know that you’ve got redheaded relatives is the secret cheatcode to let you stay unconscious during surgery. There’s a whole protocol about it.)

        yup. My dad is irish. And although I’m not a redhead, I later learned that I have the gene and it’s one of the factors in this problem.

        Too bad I only learned about this fact after I woke up a couple times during surgery and later when they put me into an induced coma and I pulled out my tubes.

            I also have a super high alcohol tolerance (and I rarely drink), which I think is also an effect of it.

            Weed only has an effect for me if I use a lot of it

      Does red hair run in your family by any chance? People with red hair in their family (myself included, I have auburn-ish hair) need 20% more anesthetics.

        funnily enough, as soon as my brain can parse it as language, my synesthesia doesn’t trigger anymore. It really is just for sounds and music.

        If I listen to a language that I can’t understand, my synesthesia triggers. It’s a fun example of how the brain processes the information

      Are you a redhead? Apparently that’s a fairly common trait for them

      Same here on the resistance to pain meds. I had a such a terrible experience with surgery. Once I woke up I was in such agony but I was also tripping hard from the dilaudid and left over anesthesia that I was unable to communicate effectively. Once a doctor finally listened to me many hours later, they gave me a cocktail of other stuff that finally eased the pain. I also really struggle with dental work.
