School can be quite traumatic as well. Kindergarten was<br />
okay for me, but first grade was horrible. I threw up at least<br />
3 times a week almost for half a year <strong>and</strong> I kept going to<br />
school. That’s insane.<br />
We have <strong>the</strong>se triggers, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>y can be single event or<br />
cumulative stressors. I don’t think it was a single event for<br />
me in my medical training, I think it was my sensitivity, plus<br />
just a lot piled on, including <strong>the</strong> fact that I discovered I am<br />
a person who should absolutely not work more than forty<br />
hours per week…oh, well…<br />
This fits <strong>the</strong> neuro-plasticity model for pain generation that<br />
we’ve known about for ages. I studied this in med school.<br />
This just says that you can take an organism, let’s say mammals,<br />
<strong>and</strong> you can subject that animal to a painful stimulus<br />
again <strong>and</strong> again, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> animal will begin responding with<br />
<strong>the</strong> pain response at lower <strong>and</strong> lower levels.<br />
So you start with a shock at 10 <strong>and</strong> sooner or later you get to<br />
a level <strong>of</strong> one, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> organism is still startling <strong>and</strong> responding<br />
with <strong>the</strong> pain response.<br />

Now <strong>the</strong>se people are rare people. This is a nervous system<br />
