I also had a lot of problems with loud noise and didn't even go to church for a long time because the organ was too loud. It took about six month to get better. Anxiety lasted a few weeks - I had a hard time riding in cars - felt like other cars where coming at me and everything was moving too fast. When out walking, I felt like I had to slow down and wait for my brain to catch up - that lasted well into last fall. I guess it wasn't really until I took Elavil that I started to feel more normal and it helped control my headaches a lot. I have been going to the chiropractor for about six weeks now and it has helped my head. I get electro-stimmulation and ultrasound treatments of my upper back, neck and shoulders to loosen up tight muscles. Had a lot of stress this week and I can feel the muscles around my head tighten up. I have to fly to Germany tomorrow and hope the long trip will be okay. I will let you all know how it went when I get back in three weeks.
