@A MyFibroTeam Member I totally understand. People always asked me why I wore sunglasses inside for the longest time.**hugs** I totally know what it is like to hear a super high register voice answer in class on bad days. And panic when someone had lots of perfume on in a classroom. College dorms sucked, too. I totally understand. We survived. 💪 I just didn’t know if I was going nuts because my senses are off the charts insane. 😂 Glad there’s others who understand, thank you.
Andrea🦋... yes I do get all those. I don’t vomit though. Hubby and I deliberately go to restaurants that aren’t crowded, because the noise for me is too much!
Yes, everything you mentioned. I wear sunglasses. Living in the college dorms was a nightmare. I felt really overwhelmed every time someone slammed a door. Also, I politely ask loud talkers to lower their voices when talking to me.
I don't drive at night as the glare from lights is blinding, I seem to have a keen sense of smell and I hate loud noises or crowds, is distressing and I want to escape it.
I do have days when any stimulation will make me feel ill. Bright lights flashing are always an issue as I get occular migraines which were at first scary but now I do not drive at night and if the tv show I'm watching has bright flashing lights I do something else for awhile. Smells are always a problem. On bad days noises can be overwhelming. All part of fibro. I've learned what I can tolerate and don't push past those limits.
