Anyone else with this symptom? pretty sure I had a slight amount of it beforehand, apparent in the dark, but since concussion it has been pretty out of control on some days, currently looking around my room and everything has got tiny dots shimmering on it, especially solid colored surfaces- kind of feels like a bad acid trip.

I have had the exact same problem since a week after my injury almost a year and a 1/2 ago. I agree it is like a
Bad drug trip. My neuro ophthalmologist Put me on topamax treating it like I a migraine aura but it didn't work. I've gotten used to it somewhat I can take it over the dizziness that I'm fighting any day. I notice when I'm tired it can get worse and especially noticed in low light settings. Going through neck therapy presently as all the specialists think there is a neck component to this problem.

Sorry to hear about your dizziness. Out of curiosity, do you ever experience depersonalization type feelings? seems like vestibular problems as well as VS have an association with dissociative phenomena.

Yes for the first 6-8 months I felt the depersonalization almost out of body feeling. That feeling slowly faded and I'm not sure if I just got used to the vision and the shock of it wore off or I actually got better in some way. From what some specialists tell me the static is the brain not filtering correctly that is why when I read with my glasses, things look somewhat normal but look at a wall or in low light it is pronounced. Basically they said I have aura without the migraine.

Have you been to any vision specialist? I went to several standard eye doctors and of course they said my eyes looked fine. I just went to a specialist a couple weeks ago he discovered I also have a balance disorder so finding the right eye specialist is important.

crazy stuff! I've also being dealing with depersonalization, some days i feel present but when it gets dark out and everything switches to artificial lights i feel the DP every time without fail. From what people say, it seems to be a psychological reaction to the altered input and it's reassuring that yours
eventually cleared up.

It took a few months but my GP has gotten me linked up with an optometrist who apparently works with PCS patients, supposedly she does a specific hour-long evaluation so i'd have to imagine that will be pretty thorough. Mine's in a few weeks so I'll report back- reading feels generally imprecise and labored, especially in weird lighting conditions so hopefully she has some kind of therapy to help restore function in that regard.

Just curious how your appt went with the optometrist went if you don't mind me asking? I'm still battling dizziness and working on visual therapy to try and reduce it but the blurry static vision I was told recently is probably in it for the long haul.
