Aw3sk3r, I don't have "visible" DV, either. I usually only see "double" when I look UP or when I look to the RIGHT. But, doing EITHER of these makes me VERY dizzy. I have learned to either close one eye when looking in these directions OR to move my head, instead. hehehehehe -- sometimes people think that I am winking at them!

When I am in exacerbation, I am dizzy ALL the time -- no matter where I look. It doesn't matter though -- I go from my bed to my recliner and back until the exacerbation is over.

You eventually figure out coping mechanisms -- they will become second nature --and this stuff won't be so hard and strange. The first year or so is the roughest.
