People will talk at me and my brain will try and take in what they are saying.
I can take in one, two, maybe 3 bits of information then it becomes too much.
For awile now the dry coughing starts in and I feel like i am going to throw up.
If they leave and I lay quiet for a while it goes away.
Any ideas on what to do to get the brain to work better??
I don't have a LLMD due to lack of funds and health to get to an LLMD out of state.

Do you think that if the person said one sentence at a time at a slower pace and took a 20-30 second break (or whatever you need) in between sentences it would help.
I am sound sensitive and sometimes i can only physically handle so much noise. If it is too overwhelming it flares my nervous sytem symptoms which includes nausea.
Also does the rapid fire info stress you out? my nervous system symptoms can flare if i get too stressed. (especailly if my mcs or food senstivities was recently triggered because they both hit my nervous system)
if it is stress related the pauses may help calm down the stress.
Hopefully people would be kind enough to accomidate you.
I know you have said you have mcs. Do you know if foods are also a trigger?
I am reactive to what seems like almost everything but one thing that has helped me determine at least some of my problemed foods is a food and symptom diary. I write down everything i consume and if symptoms change i note that.
I eat 4 meals a day. if symptoms flared inbetween meal 2 and 3 thats where i would note it on m y page.
if you are not sure what chemicals you react to you could also note if you started using a new product on that day.
I know this is alot of work and I understand you may not be up to it but I just wanted to tell you what has helped me reduce my being triggered.
It is also alot of work to go through the notebook (after you have been keeping the diary awhile)and determine a list of things that seem to be triggers. (I was hoping maybe someone would be kind enough to help you with this)
I may have Lyme from 30 years ago but I tested positive for CP. www.cphelp.org The treatment is abx and partially similar to treating Lyme so I am sort of doing both.
My cough has decreased from say 100% to 20% and is not as deep. I think I got CP because my immune system was ineffective, CD 57 at 59. I have been on ABX for about 6 weeks and just added a second ABX two weeks ago. I also am doing the Buhner protocol.
So if you haven't taken a look at CP you might to make sure that is not an issue for you. Also note that as your immune system gets hammered you are become a virus and bacteria magnet but you could also be experiencing a mold issue.
All the Best, MattH
