@rwinney Funny, I never considered what the cause was, much less a diagnosis. Always thought it's just how I am. A therapist once did tell me that I match the conditions of being a Highly Sensitive Person. That was no surprise, seemed obvious. Is that a diagnosis?

@yellowdoggirl Well, I'm with you. For years I referred to myself as a delicate flower regarding my hypersensitivity to multiple situations. It wasn't until 2020 that I stumbled upon central sensitization syndrome (CSS) due to such chronic pain and sensory issues. It was nice to finally understand the medical science behind my diagnosis.

Do you have other chronic symptoms? Are you familiar with CSS?
