Post-Plateau fun: Sudden, Unexpected Loss of...Everything.
This will not be a long post; I am still dealing with this but given how quickly it came on, and how completely disabling it is, I felt a need to share.
Recently I went through a pair of plateaus that seriously set me back some, ability-wise. Since I spend much of my time sitting or laying down, I am unsure when exactly this started but since then it has been every day or every other day.
The sequence of events look like this:
I am standing, walking, talking/not-talking, doesn't seem to matter. Everything seems normal.
1 Second later, the room and actually my perception of my reality feels like it has been blended with a Picasso painting or something. I am forced to lay down on the floor exactly where I was standing until it passes.
Picasso probably had LBD... |
I must also shut my eyes tightly or even the floor feels unstable.
In a minute or less things are normal; afterwards I feel mentally exhausted.
Notes:
* There are no common patterns preceding the events.
* It doesn't feel like dizziness or the loss of vertigo you get from trying to drink a gallon of moonshine.
* Feels less like a loss of balance and more like reality and gravity have lost any reliability.
* No common triggers.
* Nothing changes in my environment yet in time my perception of it clears.
* Tired/not tired, time of day, level of stress, none of it matters. When it happens, it just happens.
I will report this to my neuro when I see him or her again in a few weeks.
Every day is a magic show....
Jeff
