Does anybody else have nystagmus?!


Question: Does anybody else have nystagmus!?
i'm cursed with it!. are you!?
i get made fun of for the way i walk because i always keep my head forward and my lack of balance!. someone told me i walk like a "mongoloid!."
and people are ALWAYS pointing out how shaky my eyes are, its so irritating!.

what's your story!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
My sister and myself both have the condition!. Hers is much much worse than mine though, and she is legally blind as well!.

I get those ignorant comments from strangers as well, such as "You're eyes are weird," or "Woah stop shaking your eyes," but I've sort of gotten used to it!. I think that I am more self conscious about it than I should be though!. I used to avoid eye contact at all costs, but I am getting better every day!.

My sister, on the other hand, has very severe nystagmus, much worse than me!. She is also a pure albino and also has extremely poor eyesight!. She gets many stares from strangers, but she hasn't let that bother her too much!. I am very proud of her!.

Once people get to know you though, the nystagmus just disappears to them!. It can make us a little self conscious, but in the end, it's just another aspect that makes us unique!.

Take care!Www@Answer-Health@Com
