The last few days I've been experiencing something that is very concerning to me. Many times I will look down at the ground and instead of the floor / driveway seeming flat, it will seem concave to a bit. Kind of like a it's bowing out to the sides a bit. It freaks me out big time.
I wish I could explain it better. I've had some icepick type headaches the last few days too. I was doing decent and then went with my family to Wal-Mart y-day. Did OK 1/2 way through and then all of a sudden my head started aching. Same ole' same ole'.
I mentioned before the eye doctor noted some pressure in my left side after in OCD scan. I follow-up with him on 4/21.
Is this even possible what I'm describing? I guess the world is not flat after all. Posts: 7545 | From The 5th Dimension - The Twilight Zone | Registered: Mar 2008

Are you on fishoil and Vitamin E just to be sure to prevent clots. No idea what this could be. Could be eye, brain, blood vessels ...chemical sensitivity ...

I have a lot of migraines and I get weird vision too. Like having trouble seeing out of my right eye, things looking distorted, etc. Very common with migraines.

Karenl, no I'm not on Fish Oil or Vitamin E. I have no reason to believe clots are an issue based on prior testing, but who knows.
Mbdq, I'm starting to think maybe migraines of some sort are a real issue for me. I struggle greatly staring at the computer screen for any time. when I was away for several days and not on the computer, these issues lessened significantly. I'm wondering if the computer can trigger something like this?

I've experienced similar symptoms for years. I was told they are ocular migraines. I had a couple head scans that came back normal and my eye exams have always been normal. I get blind spots as well, it usually lasts a couple hours at most and then the headache hits.
Not sure if you could have the same thing or not but I know how you feel, for me it's a very bizarre, almost nauseating feeling when the ground doesn't look like it's supposed to!

Seek,
I was told migraines are not real strokes but they are like smaller problems with vessels. That's why I think the fishoil and Vit E is necessary as precaution three times a day and lots of fluid.
Clots can come from die-off. Read more about the relation migraines and strokes and you don't want a blood clot in the eye.

I get strange visual effects when I first take my prescription glasses off... So to me, this may be something that is affecting the flexibility of your lenses...if you have elevated ocular pressure, then that may be enough to affect vision.
I've had lots of migraines, but seldom has it ever affected my eyes other than causing increased light sensitivity. But I know of many who have migraines that come with or are preceeded by visual abnormalities.
I'd ask the eye doctor about it when you follow up on the 21st.

It can also be an inner ear / labyrinth problem. I had major balance / vestibular issues before I was DX'd. Lyme & co can cause this.
Very common.

Karenl, I looked up the connection and it sure is scary. I hope that's not it.
LSG Scott, it feels like brain inflammation to a degree. I can't shake the never ending head squeezing sensation. it's been terrible since I first fell ill, but one concerning thing to me is it improved a decent amount when I got away from my house for several days. BUT, I also stayed away from the computer so who knows.
Bcb1200, I have zero doubt I have balance / inner ear issues. Nothing much has helped.
I'm hoping my eye doctor can shed some insight on 4/21. Even today, I can barely see straight. My eye pressure is just not resolving. I can barely see straight today. That's bad, bad news.

hum, then seek, if staying away from the computer helped you, maybe you should seriously look into electromagnetic sensitivity... and try earthing...Though I don't which products help the best
