My worst nightmare. I always get spun out sometimes going into a full blown attack. This will be a huge thing Valentina will learn to assist me with. She already knows how to centre me.

Do you dread going to the grocery store because it makes you feel bad? The maze of tall shelves, the bright lights, patterns on the floor, the overwhelming selection of items, bending down or turning your head to scan for the items you need can take a lot of energy to navigate. If you can relate, you are not alone and there is nothing “wrong” with you.
Visually induced dizziness is an umbrella term for a group of symptoms that result from some vestibular disorders. It can also be referred to as visual vertigo, space and motion discomfort, supermarket syndrome or visual vestibular mismatch.
Chronic (long lasting) symptoms of dizziness or unsteadiness can be made worse by:
* Large areas of complex patterns or movement
* Such as supermarket shelves
* Moving traffic
* Movies on a big screen
There are several theories about why visually induced dizziness happens. Most researchers believe that it is caused by a mismatch or conflict between the different parts of the brain’s balance system, similar to motion sickness. Others believe that it happens when a vestibular problem causes the brain to rely too much on visual signals for balance (visual dependency). -Morgan Kriz, DPT and Kathleen Stross, DPT, MS, CHC
