omg thanks guys for a response. I really felt like i'm going crazy.

I started the weird feelings while we were in the car...(10 min drive). Friend and I were talking back and forth. When we got out of the car, we stopped in a ceramics place to get the prices/schedule...again talking to the owner. I had to walk away...look at the pottery pieces but still felt weird. after about 10 mins we left.

We walked around outside and I knew I just didn't feel right. So, am I supposed to push a little bit or just flat out go home?

I'm soooo sick of being stuck in my house!!

I'm going to yoga today with my neighbor -- then chiropractor later.

I really want to go out for a drink tonight (of course I'll have club soda)...with a friend. I just want to be out in the real world!! Is this going to leave me with a headache tomorrow even if I go for an hour??

I couldn't go to restaurants for months. It sounded like garbled noise coming at me from every direction. So for months boyfriend and I picked up food and took it to local park to eat. Much easier for me.

In the car you hear - voice(s), traffic going by, and other things. Might put you into overload.

Walking bothered me for months. Each step seemed to bounce in my head. Created an unbelievable headache.

These things still bother me to a degree. Some days more than others.

If 10 minutes is causing those symptoms try 5. Find a level that doesn't aggravate symptoms and then, ever so slowly, try to increase the activity.

I have the same problem when I go out. As for shopping, I now go to only a couple of stores that I've become very familiar with. That helps some, but I still get overloaded with information (visual and auditory) and I get quite dizzy. I too have to get in and out as quick as possible.

Mark, I have the same problem when our son comes over. He and his dad get talking and they talk so fast and he is so loud! I can bearly tolerate it! Good idea to go away and put headphones on.
