• From this study (3 weeks ago):

I am a female person 60 years old, with symptoms of frequently occurring double (or blurred) vision and vertigo. At the beginning (2006) it happened only from time to time, not very often, but April 2011 it started to occur more frequently. These episodes frequency gradually increased, so that – finally – I've been experiencing such episodes every day, lasting from 4-5 hours during a day and starting again in the evening (till going to bed), to almost the whole day.
These symptoms, especially when they are severe, has made me impossible to perform my violinist's job as an orchestra member, so I had to give up working a few years ago.
Besides, needless to say, they make me feel uneasy in my daily routine, too.
