Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hi Marta, This is VERY interesting. I have always been this way - usually 1/2 to 1/4 of " normal " dose. I never knew it had a name. I can take 1 tylenol for a headache. My mom has told me I was like this even as an infant too.

It is unbearably lonely here... marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
