View Full Version : Imprint Sensitivity


Wowwwweeee

As always, I hope this finds everyone doing well today.

Some of my symptoms that I do associate with my woozy head.
(I think) are quite bizarre,

One in particular that I am interested to know if anyone else deals with. I really have no name for it, so I call it Imprint Sensitivity.

For most people, if someone walks on a treadmill, when they get off, they may still have the feeling that their legs are on the treadmill for a few minutes.

What that (example) said, I seem to have this, but on a grossly exaggerated scale.

For example, if I am wearing flat sandals for the day, and then I go home and change into soft sneakers, and then I walk for a few miles, when I go home and take off my sneakers, the bottoms of my feet and body still feel like they are walking on something softer than the floor that I am standing on. This gives me the feeling that I am walking on marshmellows for quite some time.

Or, if I am in an elevator, and I step out of the elevator at my floor, my body feels like it is still going up and down in the elevator.

Or, if I am driving in the car (as the driver), and I stop for a red light, my body still feels like it's driving. I do not have this one sensation as badly as I used to, thankfully.

Anyway, these imprinted sensations linger, sometimes to the point where it literally feels I am unable to walk (although I can, and I will despite the heavy body/legged feeling that comes with persevering).

Does anyone else experience this? I don't know what to call it, so I am not sure where to look for information on this.

Wishing everyone a good day.

wowee , I have the car thing for sure but after I get out it goes away in a few minutes.The treadmill thing I feel that when I get off but it goes away after a couple of minutes.Wow It would drive me nuts to feel that tread mill thing all the time! I hope you are not comming down with a sinus thing that brought on those sensitivity things with me! billy

Gosh yes I get this... I get it too after the treadmill and trains and all travel...horrible...basically the specialists have put it down to motion sensitivity from my inner ear problem. But I also get it from changing shoes or changing floors - from carpet to hard floor for example. Awful! And the elevator...

Yep I get these symptoms too. Mainly the elevator and car. But there are a variety of other things that cause it too.

The worse my usual dizzy symptoms are the more sensation of movement I get.

I think it is just another evil symptoms that is all part and parcel of an inner ear disorder. Yay for us!

Snap! My other half thinks I'm mad - when we're walking the dogs in the park, I'm all over the place for a minute or so if we go from the grass to the concrete path, and getting off trains is a nightmare. He always forgets and goes striding off down the platform, and I'm clinging to a bench waiting for the ground to stop moving! I don't do lifts if I can help it for the same reason, and I wouldn't get on a treadmill if you paid me! ;)

I find I'm generally better on grass or slightly uneven surfaces, though - I wonder if it's because there's more somatosensory info from softer surfaces?
