Re: High threshold for pain

Hi. My son (autism) has a high tolerance for pain. He broke his elbow

and did not cry, only whimpers.

Hi Donna,

My 4 yr. old son never used to be affected by pain. He would get

hurt and it wouldn't phase him.

Now he does feel pain. If he gets hurt he cries and comes running

to me and says " ouchy " and goes in the freezer to get the bag of

frozen veggies to put on his ouchy.

My son lost his pain intolerance when we quit giving him casein.

Prior to biomedical interventions, I swear my son didn't feel pain. He would

hurt himself all the time and never cry. I think I have heard that a severe

zinc deficiency can be a reason for high pain tolerance. He feels normal pain

now and that was one of the 1st things we noticed after adding lots of

supplements. A side note: I broke my elbow too when I was in 5th grade and

never hardly felt the pain. I didn't think it was broke and my mom was the one

that insisted I get it looked at. It was broke and I had a full cast for 5

weeks. I guess people have different levels of tolerance.

My son had almost no pain feeling until chelation.

> He also has only shed tears a few times in 18 years,

He still does not really shed tears unless he is crying from pain. No

tears if he cries for a non-pain reason.

Hi Donna, yes, my son with autism does have tears. He gets his

feelings hurt easily and will cry. Amazing how he can take pain, he

also required stitches after the ER removed a HUGE splinter (the

thickness of a round toothpick)and he was only upset about being

papoosed, not the needle. God Bless. Tina in NY

I just read this:

In addition, later studies of patients with Minamata disease

reported increased pain thresholds (an adverse effect) in the body

and distal extremities (Yoshida et al., 1992).
