Your symptoms are real, even when the explanation is complicated.
Pain, poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog, stress, and sensory sensitivity can influence one another. The nervous system is one part of that picture: it helps your brain and body interpret sensations, respond to stress, and decide what needs attention. When that system remains under strain, ordinary signals may feel more intense or harder to recover from. That does not mean every symptom has the same cause. It means there may be understandable reasons your experiences overlap.
