I am not in denial about halluzinating and perceptual distortion, but haven't found one Doctor who gets what I am telling them. I got very annoyed how everything I said got twisted to fit some 'syndrome' or another until I had a sizable collection of them.
I am 47 and lost pieces of the visual world after getting hit by an 18-wheeler about three years ago. I started having seizures about 2 months later. I am diagnosed with brain injury, I've had an abnormal brain MRI. Seizures are uncontolled and wild since taking stimulants.I know real from unlikely, size is distorted, movement is totally weird, the world gets dizzy I can't figure out direction of things. I could not read because letters looked foreign and still have trouble with writing what someone dictates. I mix up numbers and letters. I had over one year of visual therapy to learn to fuse multiple vision problems.
I still have excessive object permanence, so I see objects later in a different place where they are not. Flashing rhythmic and brightly illuminating everything, then at other times total washout so everything looks milky about 2 -3 times a year lasting 20-30 minutes or more.So far Docs are still thinking I see monsters. My illusions are not textbook, and, I might add, even managable, sometimes amusing.
I won't cut the grass I saw inside my fridge, I'll close the door and smile, next time I open the door the grass will be gone. I just wish the same would happen to my laundy pile...
