Food Vibes: Brain...Freeze? (Patreon)

I think it's safe to say we've probably all experienced brain freeze before, right? When you have something too cold touch the roof of your mouth and it's like suddenly it hurts, but also you can't think about anything else? Well sometimes I also get just generally overstimulated by food and it honestly feels kind of similar...

Since I started having seizures three years ago, my little noggin (lovingly referred to as Myrna from now on) sometimes has more trouble processing stimuli... Most of the time, the struggle is that I run out of energy while eating, but sometimes the food itself is too flavourful and it causes me to become overstimulated 🙈

Last week, I had ordered a pizza with stuffed spicy garlic crust on day I'd had a seizure earlier. Eating the pizza was fine, but when I got to the crust (which was delicious by the way), Myrna got a little overwhelmed and she started to shut off all function other than chewing 😅 The crust tasted so good that I genuinely couldn't keep my eyes open and could barely continue to eat 😂 I had to take a break after each bite so little Myrna could recover.

So anyway... have you ever tasted something that was almost too flavourful? 😅🙈 I think it's only happened to me twice, but it's um... an interesting experience. It's a weird mix of enjoying the flavour and wanting to cry 🙈👍
