I definitely notice I feel better if I have eaten a regularly solid meal as opposed to just snacking, water too is just huge. I think that was a huge issue since I had to take alergy meds thanks to the front coming in so I was dried out. After posting I downed about 6 glasses of water and felt a bit better. As always i felt fairly normal once I got home. I hate that I feel 100% worse at work, since that's where I need to be most focused, but I don't doubt the florescent lights play a huge part in that. I'm really close to buying a lamp for my office and seeing if that will help.
I haven't ever done any meditating. I guess that's something I could try. Heck at this point I would try anything. I tis definitely quite scary driving that way, I've actually planned out in my head what I could do using the cruise control if it got too bad one day. Driving has always been an issue for me though since my wreck. My neurologist pegged it all as psychological but I knew better. My eyes play tricks on me while driving, and then just get tired and rest... not a good time to do so at all.
