I hang onto something solid and look at the furthest thing in the house as I walk. And I go very slow on the stairs.
At times I have to avoid situations where there will be bad lighting )flickering or too bright), too many things moving - like in the wind lately, the trees moving around and stuff - and too many distractions in general.
I can't do shopping like this.
I hope you get your script and feel better soon.

I'm starting to think that I'm having a little flare of the optic neuritis, probably from a dental issue raising my temperature a little bit (yes, I'm taking Tylenol) and that the vision stuff is causing the vertigo crap.
It seems like it's visual things setting it off.
That doesnt quite explain why the vertigo woke me up from a dead sleep on tuesday, but I think it explains some of the vertigo.
Or, the dental issue is causing the visual issues, and as an annoying double whammy, it's ticking off my 8th cranial nerve and causing the vertigo.
