I have recently been put under the care of a neurologist at the request of my physician. We have exhausted every reason for me to be suffering from "near syncope", which is a fancy way of saying that I almost pass out or actually zone out at inopportune moments, such as driving.
I have had 2 major concussions: 1. I was dropped on my head at around 2 years old. According to my mom, I sounded like Donald Duck and was disoriented. I was taken to the chiropractor and nothing else was done. 2. I smacked the base of my skull into a breakfast bar at 18 years old. I wasn't taken into the ER or the doctor's office. I saw stars and felt pain in the front of my head in addition to the obvious pain in the back of my head. I have many different problems that I never attributed to these traumas: 1. Light sensitivity 2. Sound sensitivity 3. Near syncope 4. Dyslexia when tired 5. Lack of coordination 6. Balance problems when tired 7. Orientation problems when I am tired (also presented when I was pregnant all the time) 8. Easily disoriented and nauseated on carnival rides or winding roads (if I am not driving). 9. Depth perception when it is dark This covers the major issues. I would love any feedback, comments, and support. This is a scary journey. I am banned from driving and have been told that I either have epilepsy or a brain tumor. |
