My cousin graduated from hight school today, very proud mom and dad,especially pop and Mimi, they gave her a 2000 dollar party, GORGEOUS. Well dinner was swell and some small talk with family I haven’t seen in the beginning, THEN IT BEGAN … THE MUSIC LOUD AS EVER!!! And the room filled with 150 guests yelling over the music. I said to myself " I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!! " the amount of noise was traveling up my spinal it was giving what seemed like electric shocks from my spine down my arms legs and I few sharp pains on the sides of my head. I became miserable 2 hours into this party, not knowing what to do. I still don’t feel right. I cried as soon as we got in the car and came home relaxed enough to sleep an hour and a half. Now I’m awake, knows and spasms throughout my body. (This is not a new symptom) just wanted to share how incredible sound affected me the way it did. Hugs

Hi Doreen!
Yes, it seems most of us are ultra sensitive to this kind of activity and noise. You should be able to enjoy these type of gatherings, but I understand how this can easily occur. Even at 2 hours, that must have been very difficult for you!
They are still working on our upstairs, it started with a roof leak that could not be corrected, to find the roof was not installed properly on the one side of the house, which turned into a new roof and the rooms being gutted, new electric, dry wall, so why not sand the heart pine floors while we're at it! The noise of nail guns, sanders, drills are maddening sometimes!
My Granddaughter graduates the 7th, we are meeting them for lunch afterward. Not only are graduation tickets scarce, I could not see my Mom and I climbing and sitting on bleachers. My Granddaughter understands, and is ok with this. We just took her on a shopping spree for the white dress, shoes, and underclothing, and some clothes for her trip. I don't think I've recovered from that yet, but I love being with her, with all of them! I'm glad the girls knew me when I was well.
I wanted to buy her pearls, but she wants spending money and clothes instead, so that is what she'll have!
She wanted to go for Japanese, but we could not get everyone together at the Hibachi table, so they decided on a Steak House, we can get a large table there. I am not a fan of buffet dining, but it may have it's advantages. I just hope and pray that I can have a good day. I won't be able to take Morphine as I will have to drive, so that's a big strike against me!
I hope that you are able to enjoy your youth, do all you can to be as well and as happy as you can!
Sending you well wishes,
SK
Thanks so much for responding. I’m trying my best to live my life and most of the time it feels like a fail 
my dad who is in his 70s was so upset that I was so upset and sick last night that he thinks I should research some new doctors. Which I think at this point I should too. I feel like we should live 24/7 in pain that’s what medicine and therapy and exercise is for, but it doesn’t seem to be helping me. I haven’t really slept yet only 2 hours in total for the night. This is one of my biggest problem, no sleeping aid or medication works!
Thanks for the encouragement, well needed. Sending you well wishes also
Doreen
