does driving bother you?

Seems like I still have problems with tv...computer. I keep questioning it because I just don't understand how over a year later I it can still bother me. I'm not sure where my pain originates...I try all day long to figure it out. Is it from talking, watching tv, reading, computer...I just can't figure it out!! I do know I feel like crap...and had my eyes tested..they claim to be fine.

FANS!! They are my nemesis. The movement makes me anxious, exhausted, dizzy, and give me a headache. Especially if there is a light above it and it creates a shade/light/shade/light pattern on the table or ground (just had this happen at a restaurant).

Night driving bothers me...all the lights are too much. Even a super bright moon going in and out of hiding as im driving past trees bugs me.

TV screen jumpy like you said....bugs me too.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.

I have had these issues as well.

I get dizzy looking side to side. I also saw a neuro-opthamologist and the structures are all in good order.

Night driving is also terrible, and I get a sharp pain with flashing lights.

Its been over two years and I am soooo done with this. Its hockey season and I don't enjoy getting dizzy watching the games!

Yep. I can feel some problems, get in my car and immediately everything starts to move. Get out, everything is still moving. PC's, tablets, just crank my tractor. Let the dogs touch my legs and I'm looking for support and wondering where the fall will hurt the least. It doesn't take much.

Yes, you can actually have perfectly sound eyes but have trouble using them. To do a quick easy check for this (for free), have a friend wave their finger randomly around in front of your face. Try to track with your eyes (without moving your head). If your friend notices "jagged" eye movement, you might benefit from vision therapy.

I did 10 sessions of vision therapy this summer and it really helped with visual tasks such as reading & driving.

You can look for an optometrist who provides these services here:
