Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 The following is copied from this link: http://www.healthrecovery.com/HRC_2006/Depression_06/D_Hide_In_Closet.htm It is about Pyroluria, a chemical condition that causes reclusiveness in a person. I have many of these symptoms myself and I found this in my ongoing attempt to help myself out of a continuing quagmire of mental troubles. This may explain Bukowskis need for isolation. I feel the need tremendously, and I also avoid sunlight as it is rather painful on the skin and eyes rather immediately, as is all contact with people, phone or in person. To think that wanting to live in isolation and with the curtains closed is just due to Zinc etc is amazing to me. A Family Affair Pyroluria runs in families. If you are pyroluric, the same anxiety and poor stress responses will occur with other family members. They may also suffer from fatigue, nausea, sensitivity, too cold, anemia, poor dream recall, and even suicidal depression. Despite the burden of this inborn inner tension, a high degree of creativity has been noted in most pyrolurics. Many great people in history have shown signs of pyroluria. I personally have corresponded with a few brilliant researchers who identified themselves to me as being pyroluric. Pfeiffer cites two well-known people who made great scientific and literary contributions but their secluded lives reveal many of the red flags of pyroluria. Charles Darwin and Emily Dickenson both possessed great creativity, but chose to isolate themselves from the world before they were thirty. When younger, they enjoyed friends and parties, but as years went by they became reclusive, choosing to avoid friends completely except by correspondence. Both maintained a "safe" environment for themselves and their work, avoiding outside stress of any kind. They shared a strong dependency on their families, both having the good fortune of protective fathers. Any change of routine or intrusion by someone outside the family provoked stress. Darwin suffered nausea and vomiting, as well as crippling fatigue and blinding headaches. Both shared bouts of depression, nervous exhaustion, crippling fatigue, and severe inner tension. Emily's eyes became so sensitive to daylight that she could no longer read. Their handwriting deteriorated markedly as the stresses of the years took their toll. I suspect that both Dickenson and Darwin would have tested dangerously deficient in B6 and zinc. Most pyrolurics reading Depression Free, Naturally have not been forced into seclusion from the stress and tension of life. More likely, they hold down jobs and are quite good at covering up their bouts of inner tension from others. The Signs and Symptoms I have observed that pyrolurics typically pick out strong, protective spouses. Often pyroluric males will marry an older female, more mother than wife. This preference changes as they recover their normal sense of well being with biochemical repair. They favor low protein or vegetarian diets, being unable to tolerate protein well without B6 and zinc. They have pale skin with little B6 and zinc to produce pigment coloring in both skin and hair. A Caucasian pyroluric may have a china doll complexion. An Afro-American pyroluric will have the lightest skin in the family. Without a good immune system, they tend to be vulnerable to infection and may notice unexplained chills and fever. Pyrolurics avoid eating breakfast as they have no appetite for it and may have morning nausea. Motion sickness is common. Their upper dental arch is narrow, crowding the teeth. Zinc deficiency also causes poor tooth enamel. Pyorrhea from retracted gums is also the mark of too little zinc. Fingernails may be opaquely white or have white marks on them. The thinness of the nails combined with their anxiety produces nail biters. Without zinc, their skin tears rather than stretches, creating areas of stretch marks. There may be a sweet, fruity odor (trans-3-methyl-2-hexanoic acid) to their breath and sweat, especially when feverish or stressed. Their adrenals, exhausted from stress, may be sore, causing a pain in their upper left quadrant. Depression is common, as is fatigue. If the lack of zinc allows brain copper to reach toxic levels, hyperactivity, paranoia, and even hallucinations may occur. Living with high inner tension causes some pyrolurics to become easily irritated, even violent when over stressed. Dream content recall is usually rare until enough B6 has been replaced in the brain. Tryptophan cannot break down into serotonin without B6. Without adequate serotonin there will be erratic sleep and ongoing irritability.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi Das, Actually, Bukowski went to the race track on almost a daily basis for many, many years and had visitors. So I'm not sure he was a recluse in the sense of the condition you describe. To be a writer requires a certain amount of isolation anyway and he loved his own company a great deal. He mellowed as he got older and became more open and philosophical about having contact with people. Nevertheless, he wasn't a humanitarian in the usual sense of the word. At one time, he said, "The more I think about people, the less I want to think about them"! He was a man of many fascinating contradictions. Best wishes.
