Sue...
read & replied to your post @TBi/PCs forum - about these 'syndromes' -
i'd not heard of before.

Hyper-irritibility is listed Sx of PCS ~Post Concussive syndrome
'common' occurance for many after TBi ~Traumatic Brain Injury.

since my TBi accidents i've experienced hyper-irritability -- what i call my "Hyper-Sensitivities" -- to noise, sound, vibrations; Light; smells & other sensory stimulation--'sressors' that can generate dis-stress, pain.

Stress most def worsens
but what's now 'stress' is much ,
with many potential 'triggers' erratically affecting
as others shared how many things {'stressors'-triggers ] that "shouldn't" or didn't before trauma now "bother"
Unpredictably, intensely-- affecting Life, living in so many ways
