      Same, girl. I figured you did and wanted to make sure you knew about it. Also, since you’ve hit the bullseye, I’m going to assume you need to make sure and sort out any gender stuff in a way that feels good to you. Did you get to that already too? XD

          Lol, glad you’re on top of all that. I’m not trying to be intrusive, it just would have been really helpful if decades ago when I knew I had stupid 2 setting sweat glands, I also knew about everything else that usually comes with it.

          I have found that meditation, breathing, and yoga give me more conscious control over parts of my unconscious nervous system than most people are usually allowed. It helps with the erratic responses. It’s like whoever was supposed to be in control of things ain’t there, but I can be there if I remember and work it myself. That helps with the crummy digestive system, temperature responses, lack of feedback, and runaway emotional states.

          It can be exhausting, like working a complex control panel you have to pay complete attention to, but it’s a great tool to have.🧡

            No, not at all, I appreciate the insight and would love to have been given a hint about the gender thing younger. I didn’t realize those were related to sweating at all, and frankly I thought the flexibility was ED, the eating habits were ADHD, and the gender was autism, so I’m surprised you got all that. I know they’ve got high comorbidities, but I’m very interested in what links those specific symptoms.

              Shot in the dark: POTS, too?

              (sidenote: I just started beta blockers for my POTS and they’ve both helped immensely and given me the fragrant armpits of a teenaged boy. I’ve swapped to more aggressive armpit soap and that seems to have helped.)

                That one luckily not so far. I do get lightheaded upon standing sort of often, just not enough to lose consciousness or anything like that.

      lol I was reading their comment and thinking yeah this person doesn’t know ADHD makes those body signals basically impossible to notice
