Great to see an article extolling the virtues of hypersensitive people and calling for us to be recognised as important in society.

How Am I Doing Now?
Someone asked me this yesterday and I suddenly realised I hadn't updated you since the start of the year (here: What Happened in 2017?). Doesn't time fly! So, here is an update for you so you can see where I'm up to if you are following my healing story. The foods... Food-wise, if you remember, …
