Has anyone experienced noise sensitivity since their hormone roller coaster ride started? I went to the movies and I couldn't even stay ugh! Then the panic sets in. Cant wait until this is over
Yes, Becky lots of noise or loud was bothersome. I, too, couldn't handle loud noises. It will be over soon, just not tomorrow.
Thank you for responding! Did you feel frazzled for a while after you left the noise? Seems my head feels funky after leaving there. This perimenopause is the pits!
Hi If I'm trying to lye down and rest the slightest noise makes me jump and my heart beats harder. I hope it stops soon. I feel full of adrenaline too.
Hi Michelle, thank you for responding Yes just the previews thrashed my whole day. Igh! Hope your doing well today
Absolutely I cannot stand the television either I put volume down to 15 it is part of the whole tedious process unfortunately and movies are awful as have no control of the volume
Cheers
Jane
I actually couldnt handle the whole movie theater scene we had to leave. Yes, I felt frazzled.
I have ALWAYS had sensitive hearing (bit weird really, I can tell you if there is a cranefly in a room before I see it.). These days I can't sleep without my trusty earplugs. I take them to the cinema too.
BTW my mum is 80% deaf and she says the cinema is too loud, it hurts her ears! I don't know if it is just our local flea-pit, but it is SO loud you can FEEL the noise. Took mum to see Pirates of the Caribbean, it was like being in a war zone.
Yes Becky! My husband often makes me literally jump out of my skin when I am in the kitchen preparing dinner etc (not intentionally), like my heart skips a few beats! Also can't bear the telly too loud or cd in car - I used to love loud music while driving. xx
I remember another incident in april in the car with my 10yr old nephew making a racket in the back; i literally screamed at him to shut up as it was REALLYdoing my head in. I felt so awful he went so quiet, so did my husband.... i apologised & gave him a hug. I am normally a bit of a child myself when with him, but I just couldn't stand the noise & lost it with him. The hrt i started in april has cured my shortness in temper/anxiety, but things do still make me jump, & certain noise gets to me. xxx
I had to leave too! Then I get disappointed with myself because I cant even watch a movie with my family at the theatre anymore
It took about a year for that feeling to go away so don't feel so disappointed it will go away.
Thank you that gives me hope Are you still in perimenopause?
Hi Jane thank you for your response. The tv is bad for me too, I should thought about that before going to the movies. Ugh! I hope this is all over soon
Hi I know how you feel I can hear everything....I was upstairs and my daughter was getting ice out of the refrigerator I said what was that, I thought something broke. Geez this is rough! Going to the movies and having it sound like you described a war zone....I would have ran out of there lol! Thank you for your response
Hi I used to be able to handle everyday sounds as well...kids, music, tv etc. Now I have to turn everything way down. It will make my head feel bad with too much noise. Sometimes I battle myself on if this is really hormones. Im thanful for all of you ladies that confirm it for me. Are you still in perimenopause?
Yes noise really affects me. Its like sensory overload. TV, radio, theatre, it's all too much at times. I used to have the radio on in the car. Now I can't stand it!! Have started hrt which has helped with anxiety, depression and noise but some days it's still a struggle. Everything seems amplified. Oh the joys.....
I don't know what I'm in, lol. I'm in between somewhere but passed all the wild hormone ride. I still get hot flashes but not as often and mostly mild because I make sure I don't have any soy in my food or sugar.
Lol! So no cycle Im assuming. Sorry if that is too personal. Did you get through it all natural?
Yes and no, for the last 2 years I actually took Flax seed oil, Macca, and St. Johns' wort to help me get through it all. I also tried prescription medicines that helped a little but I had too many side effects so I went off of them pretty fast but this was before I went all natural. Taking vitamin D3 helped with my mood, at least I was able to go out after taking the pills. Don't ever assume anything, menopause takes a long time to finally get to for some women.
