Summary
A 57-year-old man described five months of slight dizziness, off-balance feelings and low energy, with occasional profound fatigue and no diagnosis. After major stress in September 2019 the dizziness became more frequent. Prism lenses from a vision therapist brought an initial improvement, but five days after a new set of lenses he had his first migraine, felt more off-balance and had been fatigued.
