Over this past summer I learned that I am no longer able to experience the "fight or flight" response. I'm not sure if my body simply isn't producing enough epinephrine (adrenaline) to initiate the response or if there is a physical failure somewhere or throughout my glandular and nervous systems (amygdala, hypothalamus, the adrenal glands, the autonomic nervous system, etc.). I'm in my 23d year of PD, onset at nearly age 34--summer of 1996. Yes, things are getting ugly these days.
I was wondering if anyone else here has gone through this? I feel like I should put it to "some" good use. For the first time in my life, I literally "experience" no fear. That has to be good for something. Thanks to all.
