I know that I have talked about this before. When I saw my doctor last
week he and I talked about it. It has to do with loud sounds effecting me due
status seizures I was having in 2003. He told me it effected cerebral
hemispheres (temporal lobe) and was the side effect of seizures I was having at
the time. Once I told him about the times that I have had when it came to high
pitched sounds I was hearing and how I was effected by it, he said that when I
here high pitched sounds that it triggers that area of the brain and that is
what causes me to be effected by the loud sound.
Just like when I and some of my family went to Mexico over the holidays for my
brothers wedding. You guys just would not believe what it does to me. my mom
witnessed me having this happen. She was very upset. My brother had fireworks
go off after he was married on the ruff of the house we were staying in. When
they started going off, I was so close to them and they were so loud that I
started crying, holding my ears and started running in the house. My mom came
after me. She said it was like watching a child react to very sounds with the
way I was holding my ears, screaming, crying, shaking and looking for a quiet
place. Just to get away from the loud noise.
Then yesterday my husband and I were going to see a movie for my birthday.
Well on our way his truck broke down on him. So I had some one come get me to
bring me home while he stayed. Well he did not tell me the alarm system for the
house was on and he never showed me how to use it. So once I walked in it went
off. It was so loud. So again I did the same thing like I did in Mexico -
crying, holding my ears, etc. The alarm company called, it was a lady. She
could tell that something was wrong so she slowly talked me through what I
needed to do. Then stayed on the phone with me for a few minutes just to make
sure I was OK. Once I was ok she hung up and I stayed with a migraine almost
the rest of the afternoon.
So yes..the weekend before my birthday was fun - but my b'day turned out to be
not the best.

It is getting to the point just trying to discuss this topic with my doctor or
others is hard for me. It really is scary.

Anyway - Thanks for letting me vent.

Take care
Ashley
