Hi Mark -

Yes I tend to get nasty as well. I can not stand anybody talking loudly. I nagged my husband about getting a hearing aid as I got fed up with asking him to turn down the volume.

I usually try to walk away whenever I can as I know that I can not trust myself.

When I have been taken by ambulance to A&E at our hospital concussed etc my husband has told me that I am rude and obnoxious. About all I recall is losing my patience because I have to answer the same questions with different people about 5 times - in between vomiting and wanting to bash my head against the wall to get rid of the pain.

With me I believe that loud noise of any description drains my energy and when directed at me it is even worse.
