Silent movie flicker

ABOVE ALL--Thank You for being so forgiving! I was going to stay away but couldn't. Has anyone here ever experienced a "strobe light" or "Silent Movie" type Flicker. Kind of shaky like you are blinking real fast all over your body . I looked at on set symptoms in the PD forum and didn't see this, so I am thinking ... Is this most probably PAWS? At first when this started I thought it was related to my teeth being infected because it seemed to subside after 2 root canals and one tooth being pulled. It seems to be most prevalent upon waking. Occasionally in the middle of the night, or after only an hour of sleep or in the morning. At times it has interfered with my ability to walk or grasp things. It is difficult to describe but if anyone else has had anything like this please post. Many Thanks!

Hi Fogmussher.. I'm very glad you could not stay away :) Have you had your neck checked ? I have a pretty bad case of stenosis and when my neck is inflamed I experience symptoms sorta like what you are experiencing.. Mine are more of a numb feeling in my hand arm with dizziness and rolling stomach headache.. I would still go to my Dr. and insist that you have all possibility's checked.. I hope whatever it is is not permanent.. lesa

no bp no seziure history and had teeth fixed now. It has been rather difficult to describe to them. I guess my description didn't ring any bells.

i have asked the drs and therapist They don't seem very interested they are still in shock that I lived at all. So I thought It might be PAWS and something they have never seen. I had been on pain meds longer tham anyone they have treated and am signifantly older. I thought someone here may have similar experience.

How long have you had these symptoms??  Any headache?  Do you take B/P meds?
Ever had a seizure?
In my very humble opinion:  If this was happening to me I'd have some one take me to my Dr. ASAP and I'd call her along the way...

Good luck~

are you experiencing tunnel vison also?
i think you should have it checked out. sounds like something with blood and oxygen.
blood pressure or something to do with your heart. don't panic either, could be a very easy fix.
mention it to the denist. teeth problems can really cause a lot of stuff.
