Startled easily?

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had noticed that they may get startled more easily than prior to an MS diagnosis? I find little things that would never have bothered me, make me startled and I can’t think of any other reason why. I have a neuro appt next week where I will bring it up but figured I’d ask here as well. Thanks and I hope you are all well 😊

Yes, I do recognise this and it was part of the anxiety that MS certainly created in me. Over time, it did settle and with hindsight I think it was partly the illness itself but also the mental stress 24/7 it caused. Getting to know how to manage day-to-day and building up trust in my hospital team were what stopped it. Like everything MS-related, improvements take time!
