Another One
So these small "triggers" keep on exacerbating my symptoms. Here's a timeline:
Concussion in August Nov 8th I drink and the next 5 days I feel symptoms because of my drinking Then after that everything snowballs. I jump onto my bed, pillow sort of has collision and my symptoms return. Few days later I'm doing better. then I'm riding in a car with my friend, music gets turned up, and my symptoms return. Now yesterday I was feeling 85% good. I was in at a friends house and someone drops a plate on the ground right next to me and my symptoms immediately return. How can I end this? Will it ever end? From august until about 2 weeks ago I never had noise sensitivity. Just started now |
The plate dropping probably set off a startle effect.
If you jumped or tensed up it can make your muscles tighten and it will affect your breathing until you get relaxed again. The fight or flight response, it triggers an adrenaline release too.. You can read online about that and it may helps you understand why these things are setting you off. I suggest trying to be nearly symptom free for months before slowly getting back into crowds and triggering activities. |
I think these triggers are something we all are challenged with. Learn what they are, how much you can tolerate, and try and find any way to work around them. It's frustrating, but it's the only real option. Trying to power through them or even ignore them only puts you in that dreaded recovery state that isn't a lot of fun to endure.

Ty,
You got some great advice! Take it! Your anxiety needs to get under control. Believe me, I and others have gone through the "anxiety phase" while having this head sensitivity to movements, vibrations, and bumps. I myself, can feel most everything in my head when my attention is focused there. BUT 99% of those movements, vibrations, and bumps don't actually start causing anything serious. I only feel a slight headache most of the time. And the 1% only causes problems for a few hours or a day. Curcumin has helped me quite a bit actually with this. Learn to focus your attention elsewhere. If your attention does go there. Learn to calm down and try not to analyze so much. You'll be fine, and if you aren't take it chill for a while. It's a game of trial and error. You'll learn your limits and you'll get the anxiety under control. By the way, you sound way ahead of most in your recovery. But you really need to take your recovery a bit more seriously it sounds like. If your sound sensitivity just started, then it probably means you aren't taking enough breaks and staying away from over-stimulating environments. Good luck, Jake |
