americaneagle32 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I suffer from this as well. It's frustrating dealing with it at times. I think all the lights and noise are a trigger to stressing the body and thus sets of my neurocardio. I try to limit how many activities I embark on and then when I am somewhere I make sure there is a place that I can sit down and break social rules like keeping my feet down. Try keeping electrolyte water and salt packets with you and keeping your feet up and that really helps your body with the over stimulation of surroundings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 It can be such an unsocial illness. My hubby is home. My daughter has arrived with my little granddaughter. Enough stimuli, right there. My sister -- who I love dearly and is my biggest support -- is due to arrive any moment. That feels like too much stimuli. Too many people in one place. I am anticipating too much noise and it's already starting to make me uncomfortable. I know my family. Voices will rise to be heard. People will talk over each other. And I will just shut up and be quite as possible. blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlady Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yes I definitely have this problem. For me it's weird though because sometimes I'm totally ok and then other times it just hits me like a ton of bricks. For me I start to feel a bit weird in my head. I feel the life begin to drain out from me. Then my HR will increase to 130+ even if I'm sitting. That's always a sure sign for me it is time to remove myself from the environment. If I don't I usually become a total basket case. I will just begin to cry, which in turn makes my body even more upset. AHH!Then after experiencing sensory overload, I have to take at least 1-2 days to recover. That means no visitors, no talking on the phone or anything. Last night I went to a church meeting and within 3 songs, I was done. I had to get up and run out of the room away from everyone or I was going to interrupt the whole service. I actually did just that a few months ago and that's embarrassing!So I was able to get out before that happened and I put my head down on the table and just waited until the singing was over. I should have brought my earplugs, but I did not expect to react so poorly this time. Thankfully after some prayer, I did feel better and was able to continue on so that was fantastic.For me I have this problem in stores when it is busy. This is why I go late at night when no one is around...haha It is not uncommon to see me at walmart at 3 am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulou Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi everyone,I have days where I struggle with light and sounds.Some times in stores, even at home. I even need the TV or music on where I can't hear my own self EAT. It is terrible at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
