Hmmm. I know my face changes, but I don't know about the rest.

Oh, guess I should clarify. To ME my face changes. I don't know about it for others on the outside.

I've had different physical problems that seem to come and go and keep my physical doctors mystified.My blood pressure will be very high,then very low.my blood sugar will be very high for months then return to normal.dizzyness for months then its gone..headaches,stomach problems.It keeps changing back and forth.My doctors always laugh and say i'm strange and scratch their heads,but i know what it is.some of my me's are calmer and some eat healthier ,another will binge.body shape I don't notice although I do dress differently.at times it means alot what i look like and sometimes A burlap bag would suffice.Oh yeah,heart rates too.Fast to slow too

I have different problems depending on who is out. I can go from a migraine to perfectly fine, last year my blood work was constantly messed up and no one could figure out why. Different parts were at the doctors or the lab. I know I have heard that different parts can have differing physiology but don't really know if it is medically documented, tho my p doc says it is true!

hmm yeah ok. That makes sense. Swear i replied to this before tho! I guess we're a yet unknown species. Studied a fair bit but still a bit ofa mystery. Ah well :) guess that makes us experts on ourselves, we should get certificates haha. Mxkx, my face changes to me too, i wonder what its like for outsiders watching on, no one i know seems to have noticed but they're not known for being observant so that doesnt mean anything. I found out that some people can consciously lower their blood pressure, so if its do-able i dont see why our inside people cant change stuff around when they want to. It still amazes me what Moonstruck and 2Many have going on, makes me think about health problems, they are very definately physical, yet can change in the same body with different people. I wonder if doctors could understand that better and figure out how to help both maltys (multiples) and singles with their physical health. Not to say we hold the answers to the worlds problems.. just that the way we work shows a lot about stuff that would never get learned otherwise. Bags none of us being guinea pigs though.

i've had problems with sudden headaches and migraines my whole life.
some parts have fibromyalgia. ( or so they say. it's just a name for things they dont know the cause of. in my case that would be pain in my old injuries, numb foot, etc ). if they are out, i cant even lift a pack of milk.
when my strong ones are out, i cant really understand why i can lift heavy weights now. some of me have very bad eye-side, but when i try to go to an eye doctor, it's gone.
one of me has a high blood pressure. same story.
and indeed my face changes ( to me). some of me have made a photograph of themselves, and i can really see the difference. completely different expressions.
ow yeah, and i have asthma. so when i am out, i have a hard time breathing. when the others are out, i dont. we have far better physical health when riding my bike, when i dont need to do it.

I am not DID myself, but have a few friends who are. I know the handwriting and even the typing and spelling are different for each. The really little ones sound really little over the phone so their voices can be different, Body movements are also noticably different. The counselor for one of the hosts had each alter take IQ tests separately, and the scores were significantly different.

You are exactly correct with the unknown species comment. This is one of the few sites that I know of where people with DID can get together and compare notes. The alters of one of my friends have IMed the alters of a second friend. The counselor for one had never heard of that happening before. As I have become more familiar with people with DID have become increasingly frustrated at the lack of knowledge about effective ways to treat the disorder.

You all may be pioneers and really onto something.
