I haven't looked too far down in this thread, but it looks like German is

dominant in the latest posts.

I'm 37.5% German, 12.5% French, 50% Polish/Russian (Adah, we might be related!

Lol.).

I am elated you asked this question Ron, as I was up late last night wondering

how to gracefully ask this question and get responses. I have even started

looking at last names wondering if there was a connection between Misophonia and

northern European people, specifically Ireland,

England and Scotland. I am Irish and Dutch German. Father's side has been in

America since 1600's, but mother's side came from Ireland in early 1900's.

I'm Hungarian, fully (living in US now, but problem started when living in HU at

age of 10). Nobody else in my family had it as far as I could tell, I was the

jerk who disrespected my elders by making comments about how they slurped their

soup.

Russian/Polish, Jew.

I'd also be interested in Education Level. Many, many posters here seem literate, curious about the world, and seem to value education. Or that could just be a function of who generally has internet access - the "digital divide" idea.

Hi, I'm a newbie too. Just found this site after hearing the subject on the

Today Show. I haven't read a lot here yet, but this question is very

interesting. I have French, English, and Cherokee. I too have been wondering if

we all have a common ground somewhere... I also have fibromyalgia, depression

and HSP. Now I know I have misophonia. Mine started when I was about 7 or 8 yrs

old. I am now 64 yrs old and it has NEVER stopped! Some things that drive me to

the edge are barking dogs, car engines revving, loud, thumping music, people

cracking their gum, eating, crunching, breathing, hearing a man jingle coins in

his pocket or sometimes people will hold a couple of coins and clang them

together while they are talking... crickets, birds, music on my grandchildren's

toys... guess I could go on and on but I won't... I think you get the picture.

It's horrible and it has stolen my life away from me. I am near total seclusion

now and wear earplugs (that sometimes causes pain), ALWAYS have a fan running,

headphones. Those things help save me. I'm so thankful for this website. I plan

to read as many of the stories as I can. I hope I've put this in the right

place... it's my first post.
