We've been away for a while. Coming back prompted a question, based on our current situation.

We've had a displaced-neck-pain headache for the past couple days (when the chiropractor's closed for a long weekend, worse luck). Kat has just eaten a fair bit of chocolate. But, now that I'm out, I find that I'm affected way more by the bodies' sugar rush than its discomfort. For Kat, it's the other way around. Do any of you experience this kind of difference? Have any ideas as to what might cause it? Etc.

Cheers,
- Esmerelda

Well some of us get more or less affected by things like alcohol and things like that. Not the exact same thing, but pretty similar. And some of them are more or less affected by pain. Different people have different tolerances I guess. Pain tolerance seems to be a mental thing as well as physical so, it makes sense I guess?

Me, I tend to get shoved out at night 'cause I seem like (probably 'cause I don't exactly 'front'?) I don't get affected much by the body being tired. Selene can be falling over, and when I try to take control I feel fine. Like I said, I figure it's 'cause I don't really sit in the body.

The different people in a system all use the nervous system in different ways so they are
affected differently. I (constance) have a slightly higher blood pressure than miri (a
child) has. Carrie will drink sweet banana-coconut drinks that nauseate the rest of us.
When she does we FLEE front and let her enjoy.

*nods* as others have mentioned.. our pain tolerances are vastly different For some people a paper cut is a major injury.. For Darius.. we haven't found the limit of his pain tolerance..

We know different people react differently to sugar and stuff.... I would imagine it would be the same for alcohol and such though none of us drink

We all have different pain tolerance levels so some things bother some of us more than others. Also if I eat sugary stuff (which I do lots!) I get very hyper but there seems to be only one thing that makes the body hyper and that is orange soda and it doesnt matter who drinks it. We just found this out over the last month or so, so we thought it was interesting.

We occasionally experience different parts of what the body feels deliberately. It can be a great help when we've worked it to exhaustion, because one can deal with feeling tired and the other can do the moving - it doesn't mean the one working doesn't know we're tired, but it does mean that they have the mental strength to keep going because they aren't experiencing it directly.
