Yes for the last 2 years.Sometimes I see spots in front of my eyes.Certain noises make me crazy! Overhead lights I cant take them! I understand totally!!!!!!!!

I had heard a number of people mention light sensitivity. She didnt seem to think that it was related to fibro. How odd.

Yeah I have the same problem. Noises and lights make me insane. I think they confuse me.

Light, sound and smell sensitivity. All of those drive me nuts. My favorite fragrances annoy and overpower me. My family thinks I live in a dungeon. Low lighting works best for me and God forbid someone should turn ALL the lights on when I'm trying to watch TV. I come unglued.

Yep, same here. Light and sound more than smell, altho some smells make me crazy.

Lights have to be just right! I CANNOT stand to have all the lights on, like DDD. I just can't take it, but I cannot stand the dark either. NO WAY! I have to have a low light on, ESP. when watching t.v. or on the com. If I have to have all the lights off and be on the com or watch tv, I'll just turn them off rather than go thru the pain in my eyes.

Sounds, oh, wow! I can't handle more than one sound at a time. Just one kid. Just the radio, not the radio and someone talking. Just the phone, no outside sounds. You get the pic. It's just way too much for me. I get super stimulated and it's all down hill!

So you're not alone hon. I think it's at the least RELATED to fibro, if not from the fibro.

I think Most of us do...I think I was sensative to light before i ever knew I was becomeing Ill...I would get headaches walking around in a building with the overhead florescent lights...on comeing traffic KILLS me...I slapped a flashlight out of a cops hand one time because It actually REALLY hurt when he put it in my face...sensative to light ??......yea

Yeah, I think this is a fibro thing. If you consider the fact that part of what they are discovering is that our bodies have heightened pain responses, it makes sense our other senses would be as well. I can't go out without my sunglasses, deal with headlights, or any bright lights. Repetitive noise makes me want to go postal, and smells overpower me. I have found that taking a B vitamin complex helps it not be as severe.

I have sensitivity to light, noise, odors, and touch, that comes and goes. It is definitely a symptom of fibro. This is so frustrating. So many of these symptoms that the doctors are apparently stumped by are on the list of fibro symptoms on the web. Don't they ever google?

loud noises just drive me up the wall - I even hate to have the radio on first thing in the morning bright lights bother but not sunshine - love that. donaP

I think a lot of us do. I'm really sensitive to certain pitches.. which is lovely seeing as I'm a musician :-P

Not so much light but noise! I have to go around and turn off all sounds, especially stereo bass when it gets really bad. Hubby and son don't get it as they love loud music but it feels like it's in my heart and brain when the bass is too booming.

Chemicals, perfumes, sun, cleaners, air fresheners are all horrible.

my sesitivity comes and goes.. some times light bothers me really bad and others it doesnt.. noise is one of those things that it always seems to loud..

bass i agree is the worse.. bf will be playin on puter and it feels like it is in my head .. he wears headphones alot so dont suffer..

I am ok with lights but in the last past fews months or more i have been senitive to some sounds. The worst of it is in my right ear where i have tinnitus. I have it in my left ear but it doesn't really effect me that much.
