I l received recently that I have a lower than average tolerance for pain.
My neurologist ran several tests plus came to this conclusion after several checkups.
It explains a lot regarding my past, how I would get teased from other children at school if I fell plus started crying from an injury. I had an allergic reaction to an anti-nausea medication when I was 10-years-old that caused my neck to painfully lock-up, sending streaks of sharp pain going down my back care about daggers in my flesh. It was alarmingly painful, plus if my up-to-date doctor is to be believed, I suffered more than an average person would. It’s just how my brain is wired. This makes myself and others hyper focused on any minute physical discomfort, especially dry skin. I already have it excruciating residing in a desert temperature where humidity rarely rises above 40%, regardless of the season. When the people I was with and I segue into Winter every year, the weather gets even dryer plus the skin on my hands begins to crack. I have to keep reapplying hand lotion otherwise I get cracks deep enough to bleed. Unfortunately, the air in my condo gets even drier if I am freezing cold plus want to turn on the furnace to hot up. The furnace dries out the air plus removes what little moisture that might be left at this point in the process. I have come to the conclusion that I simply needed to come to terms with the environment plus the effects on my hands plus keep reapplying lotion as frequently as possible. Although I still had a somewhat miserable Winter season this past year, my official hand lotion applications made it slightly more bearable than years past.
