251. Sensory Overload with MS: Why Loud Noises Send Me Over the Edge (+ What Helps)
Description
In this episode, I’m opening up about my recent trip to New York City and how it unexpectedly triggered sensory overload—a challenge that’s all too common for those living with multiple sclerosis (MS). I break down what sensory overload is, why it’s intensified in people with MS, and share practical prevention and recovery strategies to help you manage symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog. We’ll discuss common sensory triggers (auditory, visual, tactile, and movement), how MS affects your nervous system, and tools you can use—like noise-canceling headphones and grounding techniques—to make everyday life with MS easier and more enjoyable.
