Yes! I call it sensory overload. Certain sounds, loudness, bright light, even certain voices that just grate on my nerves. Usually with this my skin gets extremely sensitive, similar to how your skin feels with a fever. I don't want anything touching me, unless it's super soft. These symptoms seem to always happen together.

Any super loud noise and I’m trying to jump out of my skin and too many lights triggers my migraines to start! Total silence and one light works perfect!

Artificial scents are the worst for me. That includes personal fragrance, air freshener, fabric softener, detergent etc. All those are unscented in my home. @A MyFibroTeam Member Ditto.

Yes…certain smells give me a migraine, loud noises exhaust me, people who wear lots of perfumes and aftershave don’t get it and they are awful to be around. I always have my Cafergot at the ready just in case I feel a migraine coming on.
