    I’ve noticed a diminished ability to judge distance, while backing up. I’ll park, get out, walk back, and I’ve got 8 or more feet to go!! A friend of mine, who’s 5 yrs older said he has the same thing. I guess this is how it starts. I’m being extra careful, when pulling into traffic, judging distances etc. Just to be sure. Get the headaches checked out. I get a pressure headache when I cough, it’s caused by sinus pressure. Comes and goes. Another trick, for backing into dark places, is to close eyes for a few seconds, to adjust pupils. It works.

    Ok, it turns out a automobile accident I was in, in 2016 is the culprit.
    Apprently I restrained a old injury. So ive been told to start stretching. As dry box don't allow for a lot of exersice.
    Pulled me out of work for the week. But I dont have to do a follow up

    Just wanted to thank every one who suggested the diabetes test. Everything came back normal for what its worth. It took longer to do the paper work. Than not did to give the blood for the test

    Take two aspirin, eat lighter, get more exercise, and call me in the morning.
