Sensory Defensiveness/Hypersensitivity

Quote from promagma:

I have Aspergers and all that nasty sensory stuff is a big part. However the doctor labels it .... Sensory Defensiveness, Aspergers or ADD, PDD, or Autism .... all just variations on a theme. It's caused by brain inflammation (caused by different kinds of bugs).

In the average person, the number of bugs outnumber your human cells 10:1. Of course, they are tiny .... but consider that most of the genetic material floating around in your body is bacterial, not human.

I can’t tolerate high pitched/ shrill sounds..., or bright lights

Shrill sounds are like a knife in my back.., and any bright light hurts my eyes

I cannot stand any artificial scents, especially perfumes. I much prefer natural body odours on a woman. I like to smell their personality, I don't want it masked. Perfume is painful to me, I prefer a nice fart.

In my teen years I had acne and hated fluorescent lighting. Does this count?

Quote from Fractal:

Anything OTC for this? Like, not needing a script or a Dr. visit? On the fence on what causes my own issues.

Anything that can be posted for the rest of us? I have trouble with certain sound stimuli, and more general things like excessive motion or height. I find restaurants extremely annoying and can't sleep unless there is total dead silence. Feels a bit like a curse sometimes. Never knew there was a name for it.

For a quick fix Benicar helps because it is anti-inflammatory. Also DXM (cough medicine) helps. Of course don't abuse DXM. A downside is that when it wears off 12-24 hours later you become hypersensitive.
