I have two questions....

[conuly]

1. About the fuzzyheadedness. I always connect that to sinus problems - I get a sinus headache, or a stuffed up nose, and I can't think properly (or pop my ears, or hear right).

*frowns*

This is absurd, but I'm thinking... is it possible that it could be somehow connected to, say, low pressure systems? I didn't start to feel out of it until it got heavy and rainy here last night.... And they always have some things in common with my sinus infections, including the hearing.

That doesn't even make sense! Not even to me, and I'm the one who thought of it! But... I need to keep notes on this or something. Bet it turns out to be something mundane like "Oh, gee, it's just the phase of the moon!"

2. In another edition of "Connie has no idea what's normal or what's not anymore...."

We all know that if you look at something centered in your face, a half a foot away, with first your left eye and then your right (but not both at the same time), it'll look like it's "jumped". It's got to do with how we get our binocular vision.

Is it normal for the vision from one eye to be (compared to the vision from the other eye) noticeably green-tinged, while the other eye is red-tinged compared to the first eye (and neither of them looks *that* different from both eyes unless I think about it)? I can think of *why* this would be, but... is it normal? I have no idea. I tried to explain it to my sister years ago (we were still at 18th Avenue), but I don't think she understood what I meant.

Brad and I are both human barometers. We get storm headaches.

[conuly]

But does it affect how you think? Is that even a remote possibility? Because these two days have sucked in terms of my ability to think clearly.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. Feeling headachey can make you woozy or no-thinky. So the cause of a headache making you woozy or no-thinky doesn't seem implausible.

Well, generally I don't think well when headachey(and these are pretty bad headaches, too), so yeah, it affects my ability to think clearly.

What you're describing sounds like 'fog', though. I'm not affected that way by barometric pressure.

With the miswiring that goes on in our(ASD) brains, I think it might be plausible to be affected in the way you describe. Especially if your brain isn't recognising pain or something. Our storm headaches start in the sinusses.

2) Yes. If you're wearing those 3D glasses.

[conuly]

Well, I *do* see everything in 3D....

*giggles*

It's not nearly as dramatic as that. It's just a bit noticeable.

I get headachy and nauseated right before a storm comes through. So to the others in my family and many of my friends. I think it's pretty normal.

And, my eyes do the same thing colour-wise. My left is juuuuust slightly more red-tinged than my right. It's also my stronger eye, although I have no idea if that makes any difference at all.

[conuly]

I'm not talking about being headachy or nauseated. I'm talking about having your thoughts end up slogging through a puddle of cold molasses before getting to your brain to make sense.

[wodhaund.livejournal.com]

Well, that's par for course with me, so I haven't any idea how normal or abnormal it is. *L*

[codeman38.livejournal.com]

I have no idea if it's normal, but my eyes are the same way with the slight red tint in one of them.

My eyes do the color thing, but they are far, far from normal. So, I asked a housemate to check, and she had the same effect.

It seems fairly normal. Which is weird, because I have formally studied vision and eyes and have never run across this effect being mentioned in my formal training.

What I do know is that color perception normally changes over time. It tends to get yellower as you get older. The physical nature of the eye (I'm being deliberately vague as I don't remember the exact details) determines color perception... the eye can discolor a bit normally or have other minor issues. So, it makes sense that no two eyes would be exactly identical. And as such, the color perception isn't quite identical.

And yet, you'd think they'd have mentioned it in one of my textbooks... I wonder if there is info on it on the web.

Checked with one more housemate, he says he's not noticing the effect right now, but has in the past. He doesn't know if they usually do, just that there have been times he has noticed it.

Ditto for me. I've noticed in the past, but doing it right now I don't. That could well be an effect of trying it in fluroescent lighting right now.
