Weird Vision and Daze Feeling 24/7

[Please_Help950]

Hello, I am 17 yrs old almost 18, and I have had this problem for about 4 yrs now or more. I was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation that was about 13mm in 2007 which they discovered in an MRI. I also have Fibromayliga. My vision problem first started off when my vision slowly became blurry with blind spots. Now I see strange colors in my vision 24/7 with my eyes opened or closed. I also have a very strange feeling in my head 24/7 like I not even here. I also keep getting my speech messed up when I talk. The doctors say that it is just stress and act as if I am making it up and crazy. I can't believe it! I know how I feel, and it's miscible. I am able to get good grades at school, but it is really hard for me to focus due to the weird colors in my vision that obstructs my sight 24/7 and the daze feeling in which I feel as if I am dumb. I really don't know how to explain it, it's like I'm not here or as if I'm dreaming. My short-term memory is horrible. I did fall out of the bathtub and slammed my head into the wall about 3 yrs ago and I have wreaked my bicycle and flew over the handle bars when I was about 12 or 13 yrs old. When I slammed my head into the wall 3 yrs ago, I ended up yawning nonstop. Both times, I have jarred my body/head really bad.  Could that have caused something wrong? My doctors said as if it wouldn't have no effect, but I don't know what to believe. Please if anyone has any information on what may be wrong with me, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO RESPOND! I can't stand this feeling anymore!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! Any information is greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank You for your concern, it is greatly appreciated. I did go to a chiari specialist in 2007 after it was found in my MRI. My doctor, Dr. Winer, told me that my chiari was 13mm and he ordered that I have surgery done. I did have the operation done on June 13, 2007 and it only helped the severe headaches that I got when I laughed. I still have the vision problems and dazed feeling though.

I don't know if anyone has this problem:

Does anyone else see weird colors in front of their vision 24/7?

It is really worrying me and it is accompanied by a strange fog-like daze. It started off before I started to get the severe headaches. I began to notice it when my vision began to become blurry with blind spots and now I see strange flickering colors in my vision that obscures my entire field of sight. I can see it worse at night and I can still see it with my eyes closed. Could the chiari that I have had still be causing this, or is there a possibility of something worse?

Please if anyone has any idea of what might be wrong with me, Please don't hesitate to respond!!! Any Information is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!
