Random - has anyone had super dilated pupils since their TBI?

My eyes have been crazy dilated at the most random times. For a while I was assuming it was just a sympathetic response to anxiety or maybe my eyes had always been like that and I'd never noticed. The other day however, a friend noticed and she told me they were huge! Looking very similar to after you leave the optometrists office.

I asked the doctor and he mentioned something about nerve damage to the spine at the level of my neck. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this also?

Subtle upper neck injuries are common. Learning good head and neck posture during rest and sleep can help over the long term. It takes months of disciplined posture for the upper neck to stabilize. For some, an upper cervical chiro helps in the start. Look at the references at the bottom of the first post in the Vitamins sticky at the top.

Lily,

My eyes don't dilate that I am aware of but the focus sure changes a lot.

Lily, did the doctor test your pupil reactions with a light/torch?
