I keep thinking of more random things, last weekend we stayed in a hotel (I brought my own blanket) & I had to run back up to our room to change my socks because they felt 'wrong' and the seam was going to bother me all day + it didn't have the right level of cushioning. Dp and my sister looked at me like I was an alien when I spent 15 minutes when we were on our way out to change my socks.

My older daughter has learned that cuddling mum means back to back at most & that cuddling daddy is a better idea. People can absolutely not touch me while I sleep or if I feel sick. It truly amazes me that I am able to nurse the baby.

I am trying to convince dp to let me get rid of our play mat/toy bins and get something less colourful. As it is it overwhelms me even when 'clean' & when things are cluttered/messy I shut down and get incredibly cranky.

I chew gum to help myself calm down. I must have gum available on car rides. As a teen I went through 2-3 packs a day. I am down to a piece or two a day.

I cannot physically swallow liquid or food while in any type of moving vehicle. I have difficulty swallowing saliva while moving. I also can't drink sitting down. I only like cold beverages.

Taking me out to eat at a restaurant was torture and not the 'birthday treat' my parents intended. Most of my birthdays were spent crying, begging my parents not to make me go out. I was incredibly picky - not liking foods because of textures, colours or smells. I DO try more things now but am still really particular about what I will eat.

I can't comprehend someone reading something out loud to me (unless I have a copy I can follow) or talk radio.

All homework was done after midnight when everyone in my house was asleep because I couldn't do it with background music & noise. My dad thought I should just 'get used to it'. Things would take me 4+ hours with noise or 5-10 minutes in silence. I NEED pitch black to sleep.

Does this sound like spd? will my doctor think I am nuts suggesting it?
