Without any warning I am terrified it may happen when I'm driving and won't be able to pull over. After I "recovered" I Googled "kaleidoscope vision" and it seems there may be a connection to Multiple Sclerosis.

Around 1 in the afternoon I began to feel very dizzy and lightheaded. 4 or 5 weeks ago on a Sunday morning, I got up around 7am and started doig chores and engaged in an entire pot of coffee all the while. ![]()
