Something most people don't realize about what I have, and something that makes treating me medically a little more challenging...thought I'd share it.
"Each identity within the same person may have unique neurological and physiological responses. For example, some identities may require glasses, while others have perfect vision: some identities are allergic to smoke, while others may be chain smokers: some identities are almost deaf, while others have exceptionally good hearing: different alters within one person will register unique electroencephalogram, electrocardiograph, blood pressure, and pulse readings. Alters may have different allergies and different ailments and unique responses to medications. One identity may be diagnosed with an ailment, but a different identity may be "out" when the medication is taken. In this case, the original alter isn't helped, and the receiving alter may have unfavorable side effects. Prescribing medication to survivors who are multiple should be done with special care and extra monitoring."

I wander if that is why YOU seem to respond to anestetics differently. I mean, sometimews you have problems and sometimes you don't. ???
could be. Could also have something to do with why morphine didn't help my pain at all...I was doing some rapid switching to cope during that time and ...well, who knows?
