Hi Snapper,
To respond back to you:
\
>> Also I don't think a lot of pdocs are sensitive to what really annoys us....

**I'm not actually sure yet because I've never told him about these things. To me, they've been so hidden and ingrained in my coping mechnansims that it's become a part of my life that I forgot to pinpoint even to my pdoc! I will next session guaranteed.

>>I say this because I just convinced my doc to switch me from Klonopin to Xanax for various reasons and with in the first day, my startle response to stimuli was greatly diminished...

**Um. that's interesting.

>>I still contend that a lot of "our" hyper-response" to stimuli is related to 'OCD'- not saying that everyone with these problems has OCD-but once again , I will say this....BP disorder and anxiety disorders are very much intertwined, and getting effective treatment for the primary condition helps-but does'nt always solve the other problems!

**Could be related to OCD. But mine have never really had a complusion side (except for a brief time when I was young).

>>Also Katia , I know exactly waht you mean by pleasant sounds... but I still have to be in control of wheather or not I subject myself to those sounds, noises , or intolerances...etc. If someone has the TV on a loud and annoying station-sometimes it is all I can do to tell them to turn the S*IT down or off or I have to leave the room. I feel mean that I am this sensitive but I guess it is better than grabbing the remote and stomping it into the ground! lol -- Also another thing, then I'll shut up (for now !) Do either of you or any of you have a problem with 'RAGE"- ie; wanting to go off on the simpilest of annnoyances but find that most of the time that you can contain yourself? That is a subtle marker (IMHO) for BP tendancies etc!

***Oh - oooo lala...the rage. You can't even EVEN imagine it. I had an all day graduate class on Saturday for 88888888 (eight!) hours and one man sat w/ his legs crossed constantly wiggling his foot throughout the entire 8 hours. I thought I was going to jump up and kick the *hit out of his foot screaming/howling at him to stop torturing me!!!!!!!!! I looked around at others - no one NO ONE even noticed. I mentally noted "none of you have a clue what kind of hell I'm going thru' at the moment!!!!" while still trying to remain present for the class which is very experiential. Anger, rage, uncontrollable lashing out are ALL consequences of keeping me trapped in that stimuli/sensory output. I HAVE to get away in order to get calm and rational again so I can breathe. It's totally insane. totally. and it's hell to be me.

I wish I could be cured. It's not like I haven't tried...

thanks for your input!!! it's greatly appreciated.

> I'm sorry that I don't remember all the exercises (my son is 28 now). At home, we did things like balancing on a very large ball, and exercises which were done on a trampoline which involved changing very quickly from using one hemisphere to the other. The occupational therapist did much more sophisticated exercises when he was with her.

I do think it is worth looking into, no matter what your age, At the time we did it, our health insurance largely paid for it, although that would probably not be the case now

> > For me it's more about noise. I feel caged and induces anxiety when I'm stuck listening to unpleasant sounds. or a wierd one is when people jitter or shake their legs. it's been murder being a student. I'm surrounded by people shaking their legs during class. I can't explain it, but it drives me insane. I remember the first time it bothered me when I was 11 in a classroom and a big boy next to me shook his leg sooo fast all the time it drove me mad. And since then I can't take it (I'm 33!). It induces anger, intolerance, a feeling of being caged and subjected to torture.
>
> I understand exactly. There are things that trigger me too, like soup slurping. I literally have to leave the room if someone is slurping their soup. Or there are those who can't seem to take a drink of something without following it EVERY TIME with an "Ahhhh". Or the people who can't sneeze without some sort of a shreiking noise - that they insist they can't control it. Even the "kissing noises" on TV during a romantic scene ruin the show for me. And then there are the "gum snappers" in church, of all places. Sometimes it irritates me to the point of being afraid that I won't be able to contain myself. I know it is really MY problem, but just telling yourself to ignore it DOES NOT WORK!!!

SIMUS! I'm sorryyyyy to have forgotten these posts. REALLY! Thank you for pointing me back to this direction for review. You have no idea how busy I've been. just bought a house, started a new (and 2nd) job, found housemates, started a new quarter in grad school, tore down wallpaper and painted, put together thousands of furniture, etc. etc. and I've gone crazy thru' it all w/ dogs barking!!!! hence me questioning all of this possible SID deeper and soo sorry for forgetting about our previous correspondence.

What you describe above sounds like me; but can you imagine NOT being able to leave the room of the soup slurper? That's normally things that get me to brink on the edge of insanity. When I can't leave the situation. little things that good people do drive me almost to kill them. RAGE. it's awful. Honestly ALL? Moodswings and depression is a walk in the park compared to this.
It's got to be more than BP; which is what I unfortunately experience too.

So you have been dxed as OCD? Have you ever heard of or considered what we've been talking about the SID? Is it new to you too?
I actually cried when I looked at a website for SID. God. I MAY be able to get help?!
let's keep in touch.

BTW, I noticed you asked about colic? I was premature and I had colic. Why do you ask?

My oldest daughter had colic. It started at about 1 month if I remember correctly. At around 6:00pm the screaming would start. I did everything I could to comfort her: music, car ride, carseat on running dryer, massage, etc. It all just made her scream louder. She would scream until about 9:00pm, when she would go to sleep. This happened daily at the same time every day. One day I tried something that I read. I put her in her crib in a dark room with no sound. It cut at my heart to leave her in there crying, but the magazine said she would be ok. Withing about 10 minutes, she was sleeping peacefully. It worked every time. So I think she just had too much stimulation and couldn't handle it anymore, and all my early attempts to comfort her were just making it worse. She has always been very "five-sense" sensitive. Her sense of smell is especially sensitive. Her sense of hearing was also unusually sensitive. She would always wake up to the sound of soft footsteps on the carpet. The posts here just got me thinking about this again.

I can't always leave the room either - especially bad with the gum-snappers in church. I am pretty sure the pastor would frown on me hurting someone in the middle of the sermon just because they can't seem to keep their mouth still and QUIET! Everyone seems sensitive to "fingernails on the chalkboard", but so many things for me have/had the same effect.

Yes.

We went to the occupational therapist three times a week for four years; after that, he was so much improved that we did most of the exercises at home. just checking in with the OT about once or twice a month for six more years- until he went away to college.

He was very *colicky*, having been born a month pre-maturely, and screamed from 3 to 9 PM for the first six months. It was too much for him when we tried to comfort him, but white noise on the radio, and endless car rides, making sure we slowed down enough to avoid actually stopping at a red light, were the things that helped the most. As a child, he did not want to play with more than one child at a time, saying he got nervous and confused, and was unable to understand what anyone was talking about. Today, he is great in groups- and so much calmer. I'm so glad we persevered with the OT.

> Minnie-Haha, has your son been dxed w/ anything? Is there any cure for SID?

I don't know of a cure, but there is help.

My son has been identified as gifted. He also has auditory-processing problems and sensory-processing problems (though not a DSI/SID diagnosis). He received a DX of ADHD Primarily Inattentive, which my husband and I absolutely disagree with. (I’ve done a LOT of reading on these things in the past couple of years and there are many disorders that have overlapping/sensory components, so depending on what kind of specialist you see, you can get different diagnosis: ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, DSI, CAPD, BP, OCD… you name it.)

You've read up about DSI (a common acronym, as SID can get confused with SIDS – sudden infant death syndrome, which is unrelated). Anyway, you've read up about DSI. Good! Try to find a group for adults with it. (I found one at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/adultsid/, but I don’t belong to it so I can’t give you any feedback.) When you find a group, ask about other conditions that have sensory symptoms and which disorders tend to be found comorbidly with DSI. In other words, do not run to embrace DSI first and only. Have you also read about the “overexcitabilities” of the gifted? Start with http://www.stephanietolan.com/dabrowskis.htm Some books to consider: The Out-of-Sync Child (does a good job of explaining what DSI is); Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight (haven’t read it yet, but want to); and The Highly Sensitive Person (haven’t read this either). All are at Amazon.com.

As for getting a DSI DX, I know OTs (occupational therapists) can give them, but not all are trained in sensory-integration testing, so you’d need to ask around. Treatment (for children anyway, and I assume it would be similar for adults) usually involves a sensory diet. This isn’t about food, though. It’s more like conditioning your body to be more properly tuned to process sensory input. You might benefit from a listening therapy.

As for psychological help, some might use behavioral or cognitive therapy to work on this stuff, but if the foundation is neurological, is that the best approach? It certainly shouldn't be the ONLY one, and I would want to know that my psychologist was, if not supportive, at least not dismissive of the diagnosis and treatment of sensory-integration disorders. One thing a psychologist could do for you is administer an IQ test. Although there is no cure for being gifted, at least it helps to put one's “abnormal” behaviors into a more positive light!

Hi,
Wow - interesting. That sounds like me - ultra sensitive - five, even 6th sense sensitive. I had bad colic for three months. Apparently, from what I've read - premature and colic babies are some of the ones who have SID (there's a correlation).

**Wow. That isn't very encouraging! FOUR YEARS? Three times a week? Jeez....just forget it. Who has that kind of money? Ten years total? I'll be in my forties!

**This sounds just like me too. i had bad colic and was two months premature. I have the same experience w/ people/groups. It is interesting b/c that is generally normal, but when I'm feeling more on the manic side, it goes away. I feel calm around chaos. Mine is directly related to depression. But who knows which one comes first - the chicken or the egg? What's a result of the other?

Thanks for all of your advice and concern. BTW, why are you on PB boards? Are you dxed w/ anything?

This is an interesting thread. I've never been sure how my problems with really loud noises have come about. My official dx is BPII but I seem to feel this knee-jerk angry reaction to anything loud, intrusive or startling. It's been happening more and more over the years. I don't think I show any other signs of OCD or even SID but it's certainly good to see that I'm not "overreacting" as some people might suggest.

Yes this is an interesting thread and I am glad it's something I'm becoming aware of. It's strange how this intrusive sensory inputs can induce soooo much rage. They may induce a high intense anxiety that induces flight or fight and if I can't flight then I fight. And it makes noooo sense considering the actually input for the average person. I wish I were that average person; sigh...
What meds are you on? Have you found that they help w/ this?
I see my pdoc on Monday and will request Paxil. I need help w/ the anxiety part right now. I'm on 450mg of Trileptal and 25mg of Lamictal. The lam. is making me more agitated and anxious.

>I wish I were that average person; sigh...

Hey, mental illness give you character! :)

> What meds are you on? Have you found that they help w/ this?

I am on 75mg Effexor, 150mg of Wellbutrin and 50mg of Lamictal (I've only been on the Lamictal for 3 weeks.) I find that there doesn't seem to be anything that improves it. Or rather, completely gets rid of it. If my mood is stable the effect isn't so grandiose. If at a low part of my cycle it's terrible! I think when I'm manic I don't care how much noise anyone makes because I'm probably making it right along with them :D

> I see my pdoc on Monday and will request Paxil. I need help w/ the anxiety part right now. I'm on 450mg of Trileptal and 25mg of Lamictal. The lam. is making me more agitated and anxious.

SSRIs are out for me. They make me completely manic. Zoloft pretty much sent me over the edge with a mixed state overdose that resulted in my first hospitalization. Lamictal has been known to induce hypomania at low doses and/or when starting out. I'm not sure if that's what's happening to me but I'm all for it...it's making me really productive and I'm feeling *smart* on it LOL...I don't think it's mania as a few components are missing from my normal highs. Maybe you need to up the Lamictal? How long have you been on it? Do you find the Trileptal does anything for you? I was on Tegretol (precursor of Trilep.) and it stopped my manias but did nothing for my depression.

Hi Karen,
Wow! you're on two ADs and you're not manic? It sounds like you JUST started the Lamictal. A few weeks ago (two months) I tried WB w/ Trileptal and went loopey crazy. Previously and prior to my BPII dx I had tried Effexor and also went hypomanic on it. Zoloft made me a zombie. Celexa made me an insomniac and worse off. Serzone made me hypo and then just after Serzone exactly a year ago, I got the BPII dx.

I started Tril. when I was coming down off a hypo period two months ago and it seemed to soften the blow. But I do feel mildly depressed and anxious. I'm thinking about adding Paxil onto my Trileptal and doing away w/ the Lam. The lam is making my anxiety worse. When I was previously on it, I got that euphoria you talk about, but not this time. So who knows what trileptal is actually doing for me now. I just need to be less tense and anxious. I feel like I have an ulcer. It's terrible. I wake up in pain. Health suffers when there is anxiety.
I'm actually off to the doctor's now to inquire about it. Normally they don't tell me a whole lot. They will probably slap the label irritable bowel syndrome on me and send me off.

I have the same experiences w/ the noise. When I'm low, IT'S AWFUL. when I feel good, it's tolerable and when I"m up I fit right in.

Yeah, I'm surprised I'm not manic either but for me, I think it's just the SSRIs. I've talked to other bipolar folks that are also on other ADs. Supposedly Wellbutrin is one of the few that doesn't induce mania. My problem with Wellbutrin is that I need the Effexor to make it work and the Wellbutrin to make the Effexor work...weird augmented relationship between the two. Or at least that's what I've guessed in the past. I don't like the Effexor because of the sexual side effects but hey, what can you do? Better that than cycling all over the place. I'm on a low dose of each so sides shouldn't be a problem but they still are. Once things even out with the Lamictal and I get where I need to be, I might ask to go off the Effexor. We'll see. I'm really much more of an anticonvulsant responder--so I'm learning anyway!

Let me know how your appointment went.

Where are you in the world, anyway...I'm in Toronto.

While I don't agree that this is a "disorder," I have experienced these things my entire life. They've had both a positive and negative effect my development, but I see it more as an advantage.

There is a book that specifically addresses these issues that I'm currently reading and have thus far found very helpful. It's called "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You" by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. Most libraries have it, and it's a quick read, but I suggest anyone interested in the topic take a look at it because it's a very different view from most others, in that it looks upon it as a gift and not a "disorder."

**For me; I"m one of the few that Wellbutrin DID induce some mania! (even combined w/ Triletpal). BTW, do you drink? I noticed when on WB and when I drank I got greedy for more and then I got out of control wild. I had an overall insatiable appetite. (not to be rude - but masterbation lasted forever and I swore I went into some sort of enlightened state). I don't have a boyfriend so it's all I had. In other words, I was hyppppersexual hyper-anything-pleasurable.

**What doses are you on? I need Paxil I think. I'm starting to fall into a deeper and deeper depression. Could be the time of the month;;but this feels scary like I could fall into a hole. My boss tonight at work said he's never seen me like I was tonight "lost". I said "I felt lost". HE told me to take some time if I needed to.

**I've been so crazy busy - NO TIME - I missed the appt. and had to reschedule for next week.
> Where are you in the world, anyway...I'm in Toronto.
**San Francisco Bay area. (East Bay).
