Another vision question.

[Guest guest]

Hi All.

I've got another vision question.

Bill, you don't have to worry about those siestas - seems they come

on - on their own anymore. :-)

Anyway, it was after one of those - when I woke up disoriented (which

was different in itself - because I usually know where I am - when it

is - and all that jazz)... I looked up at our white ceiling - and

was quite surprised to find it filled with black spots. I would

estimate that 35 to 50% of it was covered with black spots. This

continued for a good 15 to 30 minutes. I've never had this before -

and just wondered if others have had it.

Just checking.

Vison has been freaking lately anyway. Neuro-ophtho has diagnosed me

with migraines and some sort of permanent visual distortion - caused

(he suspects) by a migraine-induced TIA. Anyway, difficult to

explain the distortion. But basically, it's like looking through

multiple transparencies stacked atop each other - with a bit of space

inbetween - where the letters of each word are on differnt

transparencies. Plus, I see things move which don't. Thought I was

hallucinating - but doc said it was my brain trying to interpret what

it was perceiving. I see a spot - like a screw head - and since my

distortion causes it to appear to move - my brain interprets that as

a spider. Carpet rolls and moves - also certain patterns of clothing

really freak out my eyes. I basically see 3-D - even when the

stimulus is only 2-D.

Well, life is certainly interesting. At least I can't complain about

getting bored :-)

,

I have the same vision problems. I guess it is caused by what your

doctor said. Our brains are trying to interpret what we see. I have

looked at something far off but not so far off I shouldn't know what

it is and for the life of me it may take me a while to figure out

what I am looking at. I then ask myself how in the world did you not

know what that was when you first looked at it? I have even asked

someone if there was someone around me what is it that I am seeing. I

don't do that often because I think I freak them out. I have seen

things move also and they don't or imagine it is something it isn't.

It is a scary feeling for sure. May I ask you do you have problems

with your speech also?
