I'm so glad to have finally found a group of people who knows what I'm going through. I've been experiencing "shakey eyes" since I was about 12 or 13. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in an argument with my mother and all of a sudden the whole room started shaking back and forth very violently and it quickly made me nauseous. It seems that no matter which way I turned my head or how tight I shut my eyes the shaking wouldn't go away. While I've never had another one that was that severe I do still experience them about once every other month. I've learned that by jerking my head back and to the right makes the shaking stop for a while and if I can I'll looks straight up which seems to make the shaking stop until the "episode" subsides. Once I was fortunate to have my wife by me when I started experiencing one of these. Instead of trying to make it go away I actually just "rode it out" while I had her study my eyes closely. She said that she never even saw them twitch which leads me to believe that this isn't Nystagmus. I'm going to get myself on some vitamins and hopefully this will go away. I unfortunately don't have the luxury of healthcare and can't afford to go to a neurologist.
Just a little background info for anyone keeping track. I'm a 24 year old Caucasian Male. Distant history of seizures on maternal side. Parkinson's on paternal side. Half pack a day smoker, casual drinker. History of bi-polar disorder. Not currently on any medications and no drugs other than the occasional OTC for sniffles and headaches...
I've also noticed that this usually happens to me in very low light environments and ESPECIALLY when there is a device (TV, computer, projector) that has a highly contrasting and intense light level...
