Hypersensitivity Quotes

“I have spent my life clinging to my own shores for safety. Flying like a bird above the storm waters of my own body, too scared to land. I guess that is why the sea floods in to visit me. I have been too frightened to venture out into her depths alone. The central core of me is dark and churning, I can only sense it vaguely. It scares me with its power. As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I realise that this experience is partly neurological…my sensory abilities are all hyper-aroused on the surface, and my nervous system melts down when it becomes overwhelmed in everyday places. But my ability to know what is going on within is flawed. Instead of an accurate information readout, there is a big, dark, unknowable mass within. I am sailing blind without map or lighthouse within my own skin. It feels a very scary place to have a life sentence. This is why I write: to attempt to find words for what this big scariness is, to try and find images to give form and name to the wild churning expanse.

“She was painfully hyper-sensitive at times, and she suffered accordingly.”
― Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness

“Based on past awards of the Nobel Prize, my work on ‘Altitude Hypersensitivity’ appears to be worthy.”
― Steven Magee

“After my flu-like illness, I was telling the doctors my progressing sickness felt like Altitude Sickness!”
― Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

“The rest of my life will be spent observing the progression of the underlying damage hypoxia has done to me. Residing below the 1,000 feet threshold where altitude sickness occurs in me is no magic cure for Magee’s Disease. It helps, but the underlying environmental biological damage is still there.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“The new altitude sickness classification scheme has four types: 1. Altitude Hypersensitivity – Above sea level to 4,900 feet. 2. High altitude - 4,900 to 11,500 feet.
3. Very high altitude - 11,500 to 18,000 feet.
4. Extreme altitude - Above 18,000 feet.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“I knew when the medical profession could not diagnose me correctly that I probably had a new and undocumented disease.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“Truckers that drive all over the USA are often in hypoxic environments!”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“I have a great deal of respect for Gordon Moore of Intel. We are fellow electrical and electronic engineers and I use many of his Intel products. However, I do see a man that is probably aware he is funding a known biologically toxic astronomy facility atop the most sacred mountain in Hawaii. How ethical is that? Have you ever heard Gordon Moore talk about Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)? Some of his products are known to aggravate the debilitating condition that many people have started to develop around the world. It is the disease of electricity, electronics and wireless radiation.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“I was living in a state where the mountains tower up to 12,637 feet and some of them have manned telescopes atop them! Many towns are thousands of feet high in Arizona! I saw people just like me in those telescopes. Confused and forgetful, struggling in their jobs, looking ill, clearly fatigued and known to the management teams for their poor performance in the workplace. Some of my astronomy coworkers have died relatively young, others have gone on to develop cancers and illnesses, and some are just weird! Hypoxia can do a myriad of strange things to people.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“Hypoxia, enlightenment and the pursuit of retirement age.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“Altitude hypersensitivity had me in a permanent state of chronic mountain sickness at 2,400 feet in Tucson until I moved to near sea level.”
― Steven Magee, Hypoxia, Mental Illness & Chronic Fatigue

“Altitude testing after treating for Lysinuric Protein Intolerance revealed a much more tolerant body to altitude hypersensitivity.”
― Steven Magee, Hypoxia, Mental Illness & Chronic Fatigue

“I was surprised the USA medical profession could not diagnose low blood oxygen levels, multiple chemical sensitivity to abnormal air, food intolerance, malnutrition, altitude hypersensitivity, loss of circadian rhythm and loss of moonlight synchronization.”
― Steven Magee, Hypoxia, Mental Illness & Chronic Fatigue

“I found my correct diagnosis in books and on the internet.”
― Steven Magee, Hypoxia, Mental Illness & Chronic Fatigue

“Manopause was causing Altitude Hypersensitivity in me.”
― Steven Magee, Summit Brain

“Electro-Magnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition that occurs in the minority of the population and they react to man-made environmental electromagnetic fields. Radio Wave Sickness (RWS) occurs in the majority of the population when they are exposed to a biologically toxic electromagnetic field. Both can make a person become mildly to severely sick with a wide variety of health conditions.”
― Steven Magee

“Treating Altitude Hypersensitivity took just two supplements.”
― Steven Magee

“I was surprised that just two supplements taken together could make Altitude Hypersensitivity subside.”
― Steven Magee

“There is no known cure for Altitude Hypersensitivity, only a treatment.”
― Steven Magee

“I was surprised at how simple the treatment for Altitude Hypersensitivity was.”
― Steven Magee, Toxic Altitude

“When I took L-Carnitine out of my supplements, I developed Altitude Hypersensitivity at an altitude of just 1,000 feet!”
― Steven Magee, Toxic Altitude

“The skull pains during characterizing Altitude Hypersensitivity had me mystified as to what they were!”
― Steven Magee, Toxic Altitude

“I always drink a quart of water with every meal.”
― Steven Magee, Pandemic Supplements

“Glycine combined with carnitine significantly reduced hypoxic altitude sickness symptoms in me.”
― Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

“L-Carnitine works with glycine to significantly reduce hypoxic altitude sickness in me.”
― Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

“GPLC is the only supplement that will significantly reduce my hypoxic altitude sickness on its own.”
― Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

“There appears to be two types of electromagnetically hypersensitive people. Those that never recover from it and the much smaller number of those that do recover.”
― Steven Magee

“If you are made to feel bad about being highly sensitive, remind yourself it's insensitive people who are the problem.”
