    I wonder if the effect of things coming towards you has more to do with tiredness. I've not suffered with that although I do sometimes get coloured lights and even dead spots where I can't really focus at all. Could also be eyestrain of course. Staring at a fixed distance, like at a computer screen for a while, can have odd effects including watery eyes. I also get migraines and really should get a new prescription for my glasses. Sometimes it's just our body's way of saying, "Hey take break".

    Any of that have any similarities to you Beki?

    What was the nurolgist's opinion Beki?

    One other thing this brings to mind is an inner-ear infection called Labyrinthitis that I had years ago. I had to struggle to balance and it made me feel 'spaced out'. Some of the symptoms can include:

    • Shifting of objects - can be subtle or severe - for example: when turning a corner or looking down, the environment or objects can significantly move.

    • Can often visibly see the ground “breathing” – moving slightly.

    - source: http://www.labyrinthitis.org.uk/page3.htm


    Here's an NHS Direct as well.

    Even if it's not that exactly, it might still be something to do with the inner ear. Of course it could also be, 'just one of those things'. A little odd but nothing to be concerned about health wise.

    Can you remember when this started, is it only a recent thing?
