No, it's not like that...I know what you're talking about because I've had that happen before if I sit up too quick or something, but this is more irritating than scary.
It's hard to explain, but it's almost like a variation on double vision... this is the best way I can describe it - you know how you can set windows to put a "trail" on your mouse pointer? So whenever you move the pointer across the screen, there's a long trail of little pointers following along behind it? That's what I get in my vision, but I have that trail on everything. If I move my head or eyes at all, there's a trail in my vision. I used to only get it whenever I'd get up from a laying down position, but now I get it all the time, sitting up, laying down, standing - even while driving. And it's getting worse.
My opthamologist says it's not anything with my eyes. He said it's probably extremely low blood pressure, but that's actually been normal for last last few months, so I'm not buying into that. So we'll see. Visual distrbances such as that are a side effect of increased intracranial hypertension. My spinal tap is in a few hours. I should know something then.
It's pretty freaky-deaky though.

No, but as someone who gets the odd migraine, the prospect of daily incidence is certainly cause for sympathy. I was able to figure my triggers and where possible, avoid them (always with the sunglasses), but it sounds like there are no triggers other than breathing and that's fairly tricky to get around. I know Spokane is essentially dessert, and there was Alaska, have you tried more humid/tropoical climes? Perhaps visiting Jason wouldn't be such a bad idea.

You can come by for a hurricane party or three and then fly back before the storm hits (or stay for the fun and leave once the airport is repaired). Remember: Ladies drink free if it's category Three (or greater)!
It's currently a temperate 80 degrees and only 40% humidity- almost jacket weather.

Really? It's an aquired taste, I find. When I travel to dry climates, I generally feel uneasy and then, upon returning home, feel a profound sense of relief and beonging.
Of course, I like the heat....

I've tried Memphis.... does that count as humid enough? Only for 10 days at a time, but in the middle of the summer, that was enough of the humidity for me! :-)

Fuck the humidity. I don't mind heat. I love San Diego weather, low humidity and in the upper 70's during the day and lower 60's at night.

You people are weird.
I'm thnking about moving again, the criteria this time being to get so remote from anyone I might know that if they wanted to visit me, it would be a lengthy haul & not worth the effort. This is different than the previosu criteria, which was "who do I know where?"
The previous one had many choices; this one...not so much. But Ithink I've narrowed it down (in descending order) to Montana, northern Vermont, or Hawaii.

Good luck with Hawaii- the job market there is nigh-impossible. There's a two year waiting list for transfers there with my company. For that yo could just move to Florida (though the west coast is preferable right now for housing and english speakers).
Montana sounds cool, in an antisocial backwoods kinda way.

I really don't want Hawaii; it was my mother's suggetsion based on "toleration of lifestyle." Montana seems perfect...but more infromation is required.

The Sci-Fi Lifestyle? The "dont ask about my legal history" lifestyle?
Or is it...that ...problem...you have with aquariums? 'Cause that's just sick and wrong.
