I first really noticed this feeling of sensitivity when I was in the passenger seat of my girlfriend's car. She was driving me to a neurology appointment so it was pretty much necessary to go. The car doesn't have the best suspension/shocks. We live in New Hampshire and this winter has been horrible with snow and ice. There are a lot of holes and bumps on the roads.

I realized if you wear earplugs you can notice certain actions that shake the head and in turn cause symptoms. Obviously driving in a car, or a bus ride is unavoidable in order to live one's life, but I was surprised to find that my boots were causing a lot of bumping and even just my regular walk on the tile floor in my kitchen was too. Since then, I have tried to take softer steps and it seems to be helping. Still, it is quite disconcerting to think that this is how sensitive my brain will be for the rest of my life. I guess that means no more basketball for me!
