OMG! I have known and still currently experience this fatigue, or absolute exhaustion as I refer to it, yet have never heard of or seen anything written about it with this type of accuracy. I have difficulties trying to describe it, even to my doctor. This definitely falls in the category, if you haven't experienced it you have no concept.

There have been many times I have simply sat in my wheelchair and stared outside with no noise in the house at all. Any type of sound, as described here, becomes almost painful to experience. An auditory intrusion, if you will. All this time I thought it was just me.

What a relief to read this thread.
