Does this sound like “burnout”/has anyone else experienced this? Experienced what externally was a great professional success (received a large grant, great turn out to my show, etc) and right after started feeling super sensitive to light, sound, touch. Over the past month this has progressed into waves of migraines (new to me! diagnosed in the er) and sensory sensitivity to the point of not being able to have any lights on in the house, tingling limbs, haven’t been able to work, only want to eat macaroni, constant dizziness, sleeping 12 hrs at a time, feels like hell when my spouse comes home from work because he makes so much noise just moving around normally - I don’t feel depressed, just like parts of my functioning are “logging off”? I’m on a 5 month long wait list for neurology and started Topomax but I’m at total loss in the meantime.

Based on the provided context, it seems like you might be experiencing sensory overload.

They also mentioned experiencing pre-migraine symptoms and a blurriness in their vision. Another person mentioned being tested for POTS, a condition that can cause symptoms like light and noise sensitivity, migraines, and a feeling of fuzziness in the head. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
