Re: do words hurt?/Cumulative noise

[Guest guest]

No, for me, certain noise sensitivity is not cumulative. It is

immediate. The first time is just as bad as the 20th time. But yes,

I do believe that lack of sleep inhibits my ability to tolerate

noise. I'm much more sensitive and jumpy when I'm tired.

My pseudo mother-in-law says " anyway " at the beginning of almost

every sentence. I hate it. And she is a college-educated nurse who

travels and reads, etc. I can never believe how little self-

awareness she has. I like her alot, too, but just not that habit. I

haven't seen her in the last year or so, since my 4S got so bad, so

I'm praying that next time I do I won't want to run from the room!
