Re: Fw: Sound sensitive--light sensitivity

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the information... my daughter has an appointment in January with the

ENT and I will talk to the audiologist and doctor.  It would be so much better

to see her without her Bose noise blocking headphones many times attached to

nothing.  Becca's own idea... but whose to argue when the noise of the world

hurts.  Other days she just puts in her own ear buds attached to her Ipod Nano. 

She has even been known to put in her swimmers ear molds to stop the noise.

Hint:  for those who have light sensitivities.. tinted prescription glasses have

made Becca's trips out to the world easier.  The flurescent lights are her

nemisis before, now she can handle the light world.  We have always had tinted

car windows, or she cried the light burned her skin.

As Becca has gotten healthier and older she is wise beyond her years with

telling us things and problem solving her challenges.  My sound sensitization

has gotten better the older that I become.  Somedays are worse than

others...especially if I have gotten ahold of gluten or am more tired.  Then I

just need to break and retreat to a quiet spot to decompress.
