Re: Visual sensitivities

Some things bother me with my vision as well, and it's hard to explain. One example was when my sister and I were younger and watching tv, she would lay on the couch on her stomach and her hands would hang over the edge of the couch, so while I was trying to watch the tv show, all I could see were her finger nails and it looked like water dripping from her hands. Yes, this does sound crazy and I'm sure it is, but it drove me nuts just like some sounds do. That's why I wonder about asperger's syndrome. Even certain touches would make my skin crawl. Is there a connection, or, is it something different???

I've had Misohphonia for about 4 years now, just found out it actually had a name until this year! But just recently have I started becoming really sensitive to repetitive movements in my peripheral vision as well. If someone in school is wiggling their foot or spinning their pen around repetitively, it drives me absolutely nuts. I literally have to put my hand up to block it out of my view to try and focus better. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? Or would it be something separate from Misophonia?

I have that too and I do think they are somehow related but not sure why. Something that can't be Controlled maybe. People have told me this problem is "all in your head"Well dahh.. It's not in my feet!MikeSent from my iPhone

Right. Because you can always turn away.

I have a physical reaction to visual irritations, but it is less intense than with noises and there are fewer triggers. My guess would be that the two things are somehow related (and not just chalked up to neurotic irritability). Hair twirlers, beard tuggers, foot wigglers, nail biters, skin pickers, people who pick their teeth at the table, and people who hunker down with their face an inch from the dinner plate all trigger me. Luckily, it's easier to block out sights than sounds.>> I've had Misohphonia for about 4 years now, just found out it actually had a name until this year!

I have problems with too much stimuli around me (noise and visual). For example, if I am in Ikea, I get extremely dizzy, especially when it is really crowded. This is going to sound really weird but, I get dizzy when I am in a place with carpeting that has a repeated pattern (like squares or diamonds). My husband just thinks I'm a bit nuts. I do get motion sickness as well so maybe it's all somehow related.... To:

You are quite right Marnie. See Wikipedia, Motion Sickness Type 2. Motion

sickness is caused when the vestibular and visual systems disagree about body

and/or head position. The primary problem is rarely if ever in the visual

system, or in the brain areas integrating visual and vestibular information, but

in the vestibular system in the ear. A hyperactive inner ear can not only lead

to audiosensitivity, but to vestibular hyperreactivity. The brain can then no

longer make head nor tail of this conflicting information. Even worse,

hyperactive states of the inner ear are highly variable and constantly

fluctuate. The brain makes a very good job of compensating for and adjusting to

sensory loss or distortion, but only if it is constant and predictable. The

examples of visual sensitivity on this site all I think refer to flicker or

visual motion, ie VIMS (Visually Induced Motion Sickness).

I have both sound & visual sensitivities too.... and I think over the last year

or so, the visual annoyances are starting to out-number the sounds! Sometimes

wish I had blinders (like horses wear) on to use instead of blocking the sight

with my hand -- it's horrible!

Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about. Recently, hair twirling has been

driving me insane. This on top of the much worse obvious sound sensitivity I'm

having such a hard time. I'm at school for 7 hours a day and sitting in class

with something constantly going on, whether it's someone chewing their gum,

clicking their pen, wagging their foot or twirling their hair, is just too much.

It's such an overload and I really have no solutions. Any ideas? I'm tempted

to go to school with earplugs and blinders that horses wear! Then I'd get some

relief! Haha, but has anyone had any success with ways of coping with visual

sensitivities other than just turning your head?

school was very difficult for me as a child and for my son as well. There's no escaping the sounds.
