Symptoms of Chronic Illness

The brain creates all sensory experiences.The brain is by no means perfect. It can interpret safe situations as dangerous. It can also make mistakes in the way it processes sensory information. Vision is determined by the visual cortex, not the retina; Taste is determined by the primary gustatory cortex rather than the tongue; Hearing is determined by the auditory cortex, not the ear.

​

Our brain is so clever at learning new skills - but sometimes those new skills involve repeating pain patterns or chronic symptoms.
