Re: Is this a symptom of CFS

[Guest guest]

I have had the sensation of the floor tilting on and off. You might want to

see the previous thread a month or so back on this list about stroke-like

symptoms. I also frequently have the sensation you're talking about - the

sense of unfamiliarity. If the order of my house gets disrupted in any way -

if things are removed from their common places or shifted around, my

cognitive impairments get worse, because of the sensation that nothing looks

familiar. It is as if my brain needs to be continually reinforced that the

environment is the same - it just can't quite register that I'm waking up in

the same place every day. I think some of this is due to short-term memory

loss. If I put something down or write something down, I instantly forget

about it.

I was diganosed with cfs but I m not sure if other people have this.

If i try to go out to a store or somewhere everything around me feels

really strange, I feel like im in a worlded by myself. things seem

blurry, I feel very spacey, everything seems foggy and i feel so

light headed and well this is kind of hard to explain but when i walk

it feels like im unbalanced or the floor is tilting not sure if i

decribed that well enough. Its kind of scarey, Is this part of cfs?

thanks michelle
