Default Dk and multi-tasking

(rosebud, I'm even more energy efficient and will abbreviate dysk as dk )

Has anyone else noticed an increase in dk if they are dping more than one thing at a time? For eample, I gave up talking on the cell phone while driving, even on deserted highways. It isn't safe under any circumstances, but it worsens my dk terribly. Listening to music while driving is almost as bad. And typing when dk is present amplifies it. Also, eating spicy foods such as hot salsa does it for me.

The main areas affected for me are head, neck, and face/mouth.
