Ok, does anyone else have problems with being startled very easily. For the past few years I have experienced this and just realized it can be related to MS. For example, when my husband sneezes I scream!! (Yes you can laugh, but it so true) Then of course everyone around me is laughing so hard I can't help but laugh till I have tears in my eyes! Also things like people coming up behind me that I didn't realize were there. I was just wondering if others have this same response?

All. The. Time. ;) I've noticed it's worse when my spasticity and tremors are really acting up.

Oh yes! My husband sometimes looks at me like I'm crazy.

I do when my husband walks up on and then says something me or sneezes or loud noises in general startle me. I use to think it was because my hearing is super sonic (I can really hear great distances and its quite annoying but would rather have that than hearing loss). It's really bad when I have migraines.
