Wow, I was wondering what was going on with me. I'm assuming the intolerance to noise is an MS thing? I've noticed I have become much more sensitive to noise, stimulation, large groups of people etc. I never used to be like that. I used to love lots of lights, noise, stimulation, big cities etc. Now the radio on in the car sometimes drives me CRAZY. And the television too. The worst part is my husband has lost hearing in one of his ears so he needs to have everything a little bit louder...so I am constantly turning things down and he is constantly turning things up. And sporting events on television -- the buzz and the annoying announcers drive me insane. Although this could be entirely un-related to MS and just a "I'm not a sports fan" thing.
