Re: Strange Phenomena

Well I'm more than sure that my retinas are not detached, I've been experiencing these things for oh about twenty years. I don't have migraine headaches. A neuro disorder plausible, but I've had no other manifestations so I've ruled those out as well.
Well, I don't have any medical training and my knowledge in chemical biology, anatomy, internal medicine, neurology, etc., is rather limited. That is not to say that I haven't read a lot on these various matters, but I wouldn't feel comfortable self- diagnosing, let alone diagnosing others.
So I have to wonder why you feel qualified to diagnose yourself and hesitate seeking perspectives from well trained, qualified medical practitioners. As has been suggested, perhaps an attachment to a certain reason behind the phenomena is closing your mind to other possibilities and ultimately preventing you from taking responsibility for your health.
These things may be serious and, even though you've had them for quite a while, could indicate a form of neurological damage or degradation, which might require a specific strategy to remedy. Incidentally, not all disorders have more than one symptom. The absense of secondary symptoms only rules our conditions that are either traditionally comorbid with other conditions or always present with other symptoms.
Ultimately, the choice is yours on how you deal with this phenomena as is the choice on how you deal with sacred cows and attachments to certain notions.
