snow storm

So before the storm began my symptoms started getting worse. I called the Neuro and the told me to us ea wheel chair for safety until my appointment due to me having random blackouts. Which i had one in the shower last night. So today we have this huge storm with 13 inches of snow and now the pressure in my head since yesterday is so bad i cant see straight. i had to go back to bed because i couldn't see my eyes wouldn't focus and just kept spinning like i was dizzy but it was only my sight its weird when i woke up it was ok with only a bit of weird eye movements.. So i called the NS today and their office is closed due to the weather. i don't know what to do. the last time i talked to them they told me to take it easy and use the chair. now this crazy new stuff and im stuck in my yard and in pain wow what a crappy day.. Sorry to vent but so mad im hurting and i cant do nothing i have to go eyes are starting to go nuts again

We havent had snow here, thankfully, we have had our fair share.  Just alot of rain lately.  I have noticed the same, my vision is so bad I cant see the guide on the big screen tv.  Its like if I squint, close my eyes and reopen them it will clear up for a few minutes and then right back.  Almost like tunnel vision at times.  Spring will be here soon if we can just hang on!  

Hope you feel better soon.

  I know what u mean, but u r also stressed out by it which in the end feeds into it...so do try to relax....and I pray u feel better soon....

I know I had symptoms ,my whole life, but once I had the one drop attack the fall itself really triggered things to snowball(pardon my pun ).....but, u have had quite a few falls and ne of them could have set more of the symptoms into motion.

  I wish I knew ...but it does affect us...I have always said I felt like a walking barometer....my voice cracks,my sinuses drain, my head pounds and my eyes water, weep, blurr...fuzz up...u name it....

ALL I can figure out is the weather affects the tonsils and all up in our head and if it all swells which is what it feels like, it must cut off flow of CSF or something....

I have always done better in the warmer weather...so come on spring : )
