Oh, Typo... That feeling is sooo familiar. You put it so well in saying "vibrating" -- that's _exactly_ what it's like! Had a spell of it in January -- felt sooo compelled to go out and about and talk some ears off -- and at the same time feeling self-conscious of literally bouncing and coming off totally wired and, um, weird... and of feeling that they could "see" the vibration -- which of course they couldn't -- only the outer manifestations.

You have a MUCH better idea with the running and congrats for having the insight and wisdom to avoid the caffeine!

The food thing is not as familiar per se, though the ultra-heightened sensory thing is. Mine tends to play out in sound and touch. Like... my clothes are too loud (not style-wise, but actual sound). It took awhile to make the connection, but these are times I need to be extra aware of explosions. It doesn't prevent them necessarily, but I try to avoid those things that are likely to set them off. If this is familiar at all, I wish you the best in deflecting (is that the right word?).

In addition to the running idea, I often find it useful to turn on some energetic music and dance like crazy. Some find this counter-productive and prefer soothing music. Play it by ear (oooh, bad pun!) -- you know yourself best. Good luck and keep us posted, ok?
