I'm just curious to know if others out there with chronic pain are bothered by noise as well? Thanks for any comments!

I, like you, cannot deal with noise. I have dealt with chronic pain for years as well. DX: Fibro, RSD (recently diagnosed), Chronic Fatigue, Sleep Apnea, Hypothyroidism and type II Diabetes. I also was hospitalized for cellulitis and several surgeries including back surgery. For me the noise is just too much stimulation.

DX with: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Fuch's Cornea Dystrophy, Type II Diabetes, DDD, back surgery on Dec 2, 2008 (anterior fusion at L5 S1), DDD in cervical spine, Hypothyroidism, Venous Insufficiency. Hospitalization for cellulitis - three times. Surgery on both legs (2013) because of venous insufficiency Recently received a DX of RSD (2013). New doctor (Internist) researched some of my symptoms which brought her to RSD. She could never touch my right leg-or foot. I'm very hypersensitive even though I have peripheral nueropathy. If you even slightly touch my toes, I scream in pain. Not kidding. In 1985, I had Hammertoe surgery and when doctor went to take pin out of one toe on right side, it would not come out. Was in crooked. Had to use wire pulleys I think she called it. Afterwards, I could not walk for two weeks. Nerve damage - Only way to deal with it all is with laughter and good friends.
