head tilting...
A little over a year ago, I went to a neurologist with vertigo, loss of coordination, tremors, extreme fatigue, memory loss, and weakness in my right limbs. A MRI was done, and it came back normal. He sent me to physical therapy for the weakness and loss of balance and that was that. It helped...for a while. The weakness returned soon after I finished physical therapy. After walking for a while, I start to swing my right leg when walking (I cant think of how to explain it) without realizing it. Basically, I don't use it to propel myself like I do with my left leg. It looks kind of dumb, but my gait looks funky because it takes longer for me to move my right leg.
For several months now, I occasionally get told by family members to "hold my head up straight". I thought it WAS up straight! I didn't think too much of it, though. Well, we just got back from vacation - we had issues with pictures. My head is tilted in all of them. My dad kept saying "hold your head straight!!" To me, it felt like it was. I'd move it over a little and say "Is it straight now?" "No, move it more." "now?" "more...ok..stop there. No, move it back a little. Ok, there."
It was ridiculous. Is this a head tilt? I dont even know I'm doing it! It feels like it's straight, but I looked at one of the pictures and it's really tilted!
Should I go to the doc about this? I start my freshman year of college in august - I don't want want to look stupid with my head always tilted.

I would definitely see your doctor about this. Do you have any pain in your neck? My guess is that its probably something to do with either your neck or your eyes, but its impossible to be more specific without the benefit of a full history and physical exam. Do see your doctor and let us know how it goes. Best of luck!

Nope, no pain at all. As for my eyes, I have alternating exotropia, but I can and do keep them pulled in.
Recently my vision has blurred some and I've starting seeing glare, halos and fog around lights, as well as double and even triple sometimes.
Other than that, nope.
