Dear Nicole and Barbara,
I have just been reading back letters and came across yours. I too have a
leision at C2-3 and have similar symptoms dizziness, lightheadedness, and
numbness. This week I've noticed flashes of light, particularly when I get up
in the darkness in the night to use the bathroom. I have not mentioned it to
my doctor either because I feel silly calling him with every little thing. A
while back I looked up and everything was shaking. It happened twice for
merely seconds. I told the doctor and he said that maybe I was tired. I don't
think tired had anything to do with it, not to mention I'm tired all the
time! I also continue to experience L'Hermett's Sign, the unpleasant
lightening sensation down the spine when I bend my head forward. I'm not
complaining. I know I have it good compared to many. I'm just curious because
I'm never sure when I should or shouldn't call the doc.
