Last year, I found myself sitting on the edge of a café chair, gripping my water bottle like it was a lifeline. The world didn’t exactly spin, but it shifted—just slightly enough to make me question if I was about to pass out or lose my mind. Turns out, I wasn’t alone. If you’ve ever…
If you’ve ever found yourself nervously Googling symptoms at 2 a.m. before a spine appointment, you’re not alone.

Ever catch something weird floating in your vision — not the usual specks that drift across, but odd little shadows that just… sit there? I first noticed them while reading late at night, a few spots on the edge of my sight that wouldn’t move no matter where I looked. They didn’t dart around like…
I remember the first time I stared at my spine MRI report. It felt like I was decoding alien hieroglyphics. Between the endless acronyms and grayscale images, I was lost.

You try to focus, and poof—they vanish, only to return the moment you shift your gaze. If that sounds familiar, welcome to the very specific world of floaters while looking through window blinds….

I remember the first time I noticed it—right after a big yawn. That weird flash, almost like a translucent thread drifting across my vision.
