Hi

everyone, I hope this finds you all doing well.

Recently I was told that I have hyper-startle response, which is

indicative of people who suffer from PTSD (post traumatic stress

disorder). It was suggested that perhaps having the ICD and associated

"therapies" might be the source of the problem. Of course, even if it

is, it won't change anything, but I am curious if anyone has heard of

this.

The "hyper-startle response" occurs quite often...just the other day,

when the oven timer went off, I shot up off the couch a good three

feet, and let out with a blood curdling scream, so I have decided to

stop cooking!! The phone ringing, or coming around the corner and

seeing someone unexpected will get the same result.

Just wondering if anyone else deals with this same issue or am I a

freak of nature? (Be kind, please!).

Take care and behave!

Always,

I know! My kids use to try and scare me, but they usually got a ear full when they did...so now they just wait for the phone, or the oven timer! Same response but they are blameless. Oh well, I guess its cheap entertainment!
