Sigh. Do you have any idea how much turmeric/curcumin I ingested?? ha ha ha. I wish I had known about the piperine back then! I will try to keep that in mind, thank you!

doesn't matter as much how much you ingested [past tense] as how much you ingest from here on out. I get by on 2 grams curcumin concentrate, and 20 grams piperine, daily.

For me, there absolutely is. I've had fibromyalgia and migraines for most of my life (diagnosed in late teens and early twenties respectively), and they're both triggered or worsened by the stress and sensory overload that seems to be a big part of my autistic experience. It' one of the reasons I'm so happy to have FINALLY figured out what the hell is going on with my wiring, because I feel like I've got a better shot at managing those triggers and reducing the particular stresses of living in this crazy world with next to no filters.

My chronic pain makes it difficult to concentrate, so difficult that I had to quit my last job due to my inability to memorize all the software I was supposed to. I've had injections for my carpal tunnel, but its acting up again. When I hurt I can't really listen closely to what people are telling me, which makes me look very ASPie.

Do you have MDD? I know it is linked with ASD and chronic pain.
