* I seem to be unusually sensitive to low-level exposure to fumes, salicylates, and so on. I can’t take most meds more than a couple days, at minimum doses, without getting sick, whether they’re processed through the liver or excreted through the kidneys. I can’t be around tobacco smoke, lysol, pine-sol, perfume, whatever some poisoner used outside my apartment, etc. without getting sick.

* I can get nasty migraines after salicylate exposure, after fructose/sucrose exposure, after any of the above gas exposures, after exercise, and of course after the pain-beatings.

Some hypotheses to consider:

* Salicylate intolerance and/or salicylate poisoning could explain my hyperacusis and strobe-induced vertigo. Cutting down on salicylates has helped, but it’s hard, and so far it hasn’t been enough.

* Could salicylates and/or toxins stored in body fat, and release during aerobic exercise, explain my post-exertional migraines?

Some puzzles:

* Can anything explain my unusual sensitivities to so many foods, fumes, medicines, and so on?
