Nice to see more people here. Hi everyone. Does anyone else find that strong smells and loud noises set off their seizures?

My seizures can be triggered by loud noises or high pitch shrieks. I have 5 children so this is a daily challenge. My sense of smell has definitely been enhanced since FND came into my life.

I don't have seizures I have attacks and tic attacks, where I begin to feel a little dizzy and my face drops and I begin to shake vigorously.

Long noises like the ambulance siren and high pitched bells set me off, certain smells set me off too.

Hi I have FND CFS and Fibromyalgia and yes I’ve found that general noise is amplified and I really struggle with this and as you smell too but I don’t know why? Also if more than one person is talking it’s crazy!
