>I could have a PET or a SPECT scan, but these to date are largely research tools and don't really change the psychopharmacologists' approach to treatment
I'd love to be a research object. Don't qualify for one or another reason. I think someone could have a lot of fun analyzing what goes on in my head.
OHHHHHH, lights. After the accident lights were spectacular! Christmas lights quadroupled with steaks to the sides. Headlights are blinding still, stayes on long after the car is gone. I'm ok with the new LED lights, but those new traffic lights with the blue flashers in the middle, on dangerous intersections, make me have to drive with eyes closed, blinking to watch the car in front.
Computer. I have a glare screen and screen refresh rate set at 75Hz, didn't think 85Hz made a difference to me. But liquid crystal monitors are best. I'm ridiculously light sensitive. You see someone in a big box store with sunglasses and hat, that would be me.The palinopsia you describe could have to do with the distance of focus. When I am tired focusing gets sloppy, typicaly farther than it should. The v-therapy training taught me how to reset when this happens, but doesn't work well when tired. Looking with just one eye tells me which one went on vacation :) My delayed, slow or interrupted processing accounts for the dizzyness rug pattern, tile lines and such cause.
Ophthalmologists can see so much in the eyes. Through the pupil, the reaction, shape, location of the pupil and inclusions of the iris, deviations. My eyes itself are fine, one deviates and doesn't team well. Pupils are oval and not in the middle.SKIP this last paragraph, might be upsetting RE 5 years ago-
We lost so much in 9/11. I live near the WTC and everyone I know has been deeply affected, everything has changed, can't pretend it hasn't. I went 3 weeks ago, dragged some friends with me. It was so quiet, still almost. Hardly anyone there talked. The omnipresent vendors didn't hussle as usual either. Like time went slower, you could say underfilter. I thought the physical absense was to explain the change of sound compared to a block away. My friends said they felt more than a physical void as well. We comfort ourselves embracing our brothers and sisters gained, sensitive by virtue or intimate connection.Not victim but survivor.
Hugs, bimini
