anyone else lose balance or simply just bump into the house walls? Maybe fall over few feet when walking? what about vision going fuzzy when rubbing the back of their head with moderate pressure?

Yes, these sound like some side effects.

Yes, this is a daily occurrence for me and the reason I've been given a cane. In my case it's probably mostly a function of my medications.

Every once in a while, yes.

No, this I have not experienced. Now, my vision is somewhat compromised due to aging and narrow-angle glaucoma, but my glasses work...most of the time. Ariesmars, have you told a doctor about these symptoms?

Know you have migraines...the vision thing could be part of that.....

Did you ever have an accident where you hit your head? Sometimes that can cause feelings like this....

The dizziness....are you eating well...know when I don't eat...those are the effects I notice in myself.

Just a few thoughts

yes i hit my head in car accident 11-28-07 since then had eye nerve damage in right eye only so both eye see different. migrains since then, mental issues have really taken off since that point and life just going down. eating well? likely no, mostly junk food. had about 15 mins of room shaking tonight and i was outside trying to look at the stars. i got energy to make a salad and had that tonight as i having the dizzy spells.

Did you have any Traumatic Brain Damage in the accident? It sounds like that accident had more effect on you than anyone is willing to accept.

I know for me, my migraines made my depression so much worse....they ended up being 24/7...couldn't handle noise, smells, or sight....even closing my eyes hurt. Luckily, I'm on pain medication for my migraines which are continuous without them & have complete relief.

Sounds like you need some medical testing to check out what is causing you your problems......many times physical problems can show up as mental. I am sure you had some problems prior to the accident.....but with the accident making things worse, maybe there is something they can help you with physically that can help you mentally.

God has his purpose for us here in the lives we touch as examples. It's always best to go Home on God's terms & not our own.

Be nice to yourself & show yourself patience & know that you are cared about
