Pupils

So today when I was getting my soft tissue massage (torture) the therapist said that my pupils were two different sizes... Anyone want to tell me why this is still happening 6 months out?

I've been told that sometimes one pupil is different to the other, or that they get larger, usually when I'm having one of my "funny spells" though, confusion, disorientated etc...

This is called anisocoria. It can be harmless, or it can be a symptom of many different conditions, several, like subdural hemotoma, related to TBI.

Have you bumped your head, again, recently?

Not hard I seem to have a bump on the top of my head (soft spot) not sure where it came from though... but we have figured out that I have vascular issues in my head and then there is that little bit of fluid...

how did they find out you have vascular issues? was there a certain test? I wish I could have taken a picture of my different sized pupils when it happened so I would have had proof lol

It was trial and error/process of elimination... There is not a single drug that I have been on that has worked for my headaches... I have some fluid around my brain... When I exercise and my BP goes up (like everyones does) and the fluid increases causing horrible headaches... so after talking to my neuro and my chiro they both believe that it is a vascular thing and that is why I am going to a new neurologist. Make sense?

I know there's a test to look at the blood vessels in your head but I forget the name. I hope the neurologist can help you

Well after my TBI, I too have one larger than the other, but after 9 years of double vision, it doesn't bother me too much....lol
