I am a very social person as well.. for the first few months I did not go anywhere or let more than one person over... I did text some and FB chat some...
I went to an event for a cycling team my husband is on about 6 weeks after... I had earplugs and only lasted about an hour. I had one of the friends that I FB chat there with me to help me tell people what was going on and so that she could help finish my sentences, while my husband did his socialization...
Next outing was at about 12 weeks... went to dinner for my birthday with 3 couples... nice quiet restaurant was out for about 3 hours total...
Next month was out for only 2 hours before I was done...
Just depends on the place... I find that I am building up again to be out with 2 or 3 couples for an evening and I am ok the next day...
Now I say all of that to say this... I am odd in that I have some CSF build up and when I drink wine, I actually feel better... I still require earplugs sometimes depending on where we go and what we do... but only if it is going to be in a crowded place...
I hope this gets better for youi!!!
