first of all, if you want to come on here just to tell me i;m crazy, then i suggest you go somewhere else . but i would like some info on any kind of disease this could be caused by. so here goes

about three months ago strange things started happening, and i started getting strange feelings. i was shooting hoops one night just after dusk, and i started feeling a little dizzy. i thought i might be dehydrated, so i stopped, drank some water, and sat down for ten minutes. but i just got dizzier. it got to the point a couple hours later where it was hard to walk. and now i still get dizzy, quite a bit, but not as bad, and my senses seem to become a lot sharper at night. i know that sounds crazy, but i can hear things like people talking quietly two blocks away, and things seem to appear with more clarity for some reason. besides that, i can smell things about three times better than i can in the day this is kind of freaking me out, and it only goes on at night. also, about 6 months ago i had to switch over to homeschooling, which i don't mind, but its because i would feel extremely awake and active at night, then fall asleep in the later early hours (like 5 or 6 am), and not wake up till just about dusk.

so again, i know i sound crazy, so i don't need to be told again. but i would love to and appreciate some insight, any at all, on this. any diseases, am i a vampire or something like that? am i just going through a faze, or what? i really want to know. and if your embarrassed to say it on here, just PM me.

So you totally haven't seen a doctor?

(And fyi! Vampire mythology states vampires are sterile and cannot reproduce. So no, sweety, you aren't a vampire. Or part of one.)

The first thing you think of for this stuff is that you're a vampire? LOL.

Go see a doctor, and quick. I seem to recall reading something about the symptoms you are experiencing being associated with migranes, or possibly brain tumors.

Yeah, go to the doctor NOW.

Yup - go see a doc right away.

As for the dizzines i agree you should check with your gp. Many things i think can cause diziness some nothing major others more so. Cant say any more specific than that as im not trained to but get it checked. THe other things ...
I think abnormal sleeping patterns is pretty common to teenagers, i never used to be able to sleep well at the right time in my teens and would end up sleeping in whenever i could. This seemed to be the same for my peers so not nececarily symptomatic of anything. Also with sounds being more clear at night, this also seems quite normal. With more people settle dand quiet it is common for sound to travel better int he evening. It does indeed feel very magical but i think most people are used to the idea of sounds carrying crisply on a quiet evening. TO you claim of hearing a whisper two blocks away how exactly do you know they are two blockes away, they could be in the next building surely. Remember in darkness you cant see so it is possible for your senses to become more acute i believe explaining the smells etc. I am undecided on this aspect as this sensation may be an additional symptom linked to the dizziness but may be merely a trick of the mind.
Basically explain all concerns to your gp and allow them to decide.
REquesting advice for a possible medical issue is never the best plan as allw e can provide are guesses and even if qualified advice should not be given over the internet.
Nothing here really sounds much like vampirism though i am sure that seems more glamourous than another conclusion. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

the question is have ou seen a doctor and how old are you

You're a kid. Your parents took you out of school and decided to homeschool you, and they didn't take you to a doctor?

Good grief.

Well, you're not a vampire, I assure you.

o.k..so this started 3 months ago, but you started homeschooling 6 months ago, because of lack of sleep ...Talk to your parents kiddo, and get checked out by the doctor..It could be nothing but teenagers experience body change...

I would look for a medical explanation. Good grief.

I just looked at your age. Of course you are 13.

lol, I've already seen a doctor- several times. I've had a few x-rays, a cat scan, and a check up or two, and they found absolutely nothing wrong with me. ur probably right, I'm not a vampire, but I'd still like to know whats causing the dizziness and enhanced senses at night

Dizziness maybe vertigo

I'm a night owl myself and love the night and well your body has to be more alert at night, it's a human instinct to be more aware in the dark.

I don't know about the dizziness - but lots of teens get into a pattern of feeling more alive at night, and wanting to sleep in during the day. Most people just get told they are lazy for the extra zzzzzzz's.

I'd go back to the doctor. You could be having some kind of epilepsy, or small seizure-like misfires in your brain, that are affecting the parts of your brain controlling hearing and so forth. This could also explain the wakefulness at night/dizziness. Seriously though I wouldn't take just one doctor's advice. If it bothers you this much, please talk to your parents seriously about consulting someone other than your general practitioner. Some signs and symtoms can be overlooked.

Take care of yourself.

Peace.

Your part vampire? WOW! I'm part german shepherd!

No such thing as German shepherds either . . . you can't prove it, there's not a shred of evidence of their existence . . .

Haha bob your not that plain after all then .

I agree with all those who said you should see a doctor . and if your doctor doesnt /hasn't found the cause ask to see another one and push for more tests . and speak to your parents about it .

I'm a night owl too and the thing with being awake at night is that your usually the only one home who is . So everything is amplified (sounds smells etc) as there is none of the usual hustle and bustle of the day IE people milling around, tv's on music blaring .Kids playing outside etc etc .

Good luck and i hope you get your situation resolved .

I do the same thing- more at night ( - Always been that way- Just how it is- Now, next time you go to Dr. asked about some blood work, will ya?

You are not crazy, but you are exhibiting signs of a physical problem. auditory hallucinations and sharper senses ,adversity to light are all warning signs of something your doctor needs to check imeditely,this has now disruped your normal life and has you thinking things that cannot be ,this is another symptom of whats wrong I am not a doctor but My father-in -law is and he says these symptoms MAY be indicitive of something serious so what would it hurt to check...Aanica

Have you been killed recently? Are you returning to your home, post death, and feeding on your family members? Do you resemble a bloated rotting corpse? No, you say? Hate to break it to you then sunshine, but you are not a vampire or even part vampire. Sorry.....

You are 13 years old and this is most likely the result of bad parenting. Six months of this stuff and all they do is home school? Seriously?

Go see a doctor, hunker down like the rest of us and go back to school. Quit whining and trying to feel special about something that is in all likelihood, just the opposite.....+

Also, pay attention. There are reasons why you can hear/smell things better at night and its got nothing to do with being a vampire.

Kevin A.

i wouldnt be worried i experiance EXACTLY the same thing and ive had loads of cat scans and xrays so i know i aint got a tumor or something and it seems like im much more alert at night as well as strangely enough faster and stronger and i have to a certain extent developed highly tuned hearing and eyesight so in virtually what most ppl would see as pitch black i can see where and what most things are

You should be . . . none of backwards, Hollywood, poorly read tripe that you just stated about vampires is anywhere near the truth about them. This is why the idiotic myth perpetuates.

Excuse me? Recently dead, bloated animated corpse, feeding on and/or causing mischief for its previous loved one (family) is pretty much exactly the definition of the 18th century European vampire. The 18th century European myth and legend that gave way to new and improved ( ie a little more fun and a little less being dead) vampire definition, myths and lore of today.

So, EtuMalku, what is your truth about them? Exactly what is your definition of these mythical creatures/humans? Also please see the other active vampire thread here for some additional queries of mine. Thanks.

Kevin

In that case you can read in the same threads all of my comments concerning vampires

Yes, I know. I have read them. I was just hoping for a nice little synopsis covering the topic as a whole. Not just several sentences at a time I have to string together. Basically your views summarized.

Based on what I have read I ask you this. Why did vampire go from the animated dead to something much easier to fake, believe in and be "tangible"? Why is it "vampire" has followed the same path as shaman, magician, werewolf, shapeshifter, witch etc etc? Why did it go from something of lore and whisper, fear and evil, negative connotations and persecution to something popular, trendy, cool and interesting? Why is it that these legends always have the real hardcore evidence laden symptoms or properties fade away and the properties only requiring belief or perspective get empowered?

Coincedence?

Kevin

I think they went from a believable, tangible entity into this 'undead' Hollywood monster and now they are once again becoming tangible and understood. See the vampire begins in Pre-Dynastic Egypt. I think you would do well to read the chronicles of Montague Summers, it is he who is responsible for the folkloric, loup garu, Christian demonizing of the vampire


Because the vampire is part of metaphysics and the paranormal. Once the many planes of existence (dimensions to physicists maybe?) are understood than it is easier to see the hows & whys of all these misunderstood principles.


Don't you still see the vampire as lore, myth, negative and most of all persecuted? I see it crystal clear on this forum.


Ask God that one!

this is not a debate, or a place to belittle each other. thats just pathetic

Huh? What are you talking about? He asked questions, I answered questions . . . who was belittling to who?

I think you are a vampire.


Or some sort of superhero.


Or maybe just someone trolling on a website.

You could have low blood sugar, anaemia, diabetes, etc but since you've been to a doctor I am sure they have tested you for all that stuff. I am a night owl. I always have been. It doesn't matter what time I get up in the morning I always have the compulsion to stay up all night. There are sleep disorders - one of them being Atypical Narcolepsy which makes it difficult for people to fall asleep but when they do they are out for hours and hours. Have you seen a psychologist to explore the possibilites you may have an anxiety disorder? That would explain the difficulty sleeping and the heightened senses and proclivity for thinking the worst in situations.....

I feel like we may be missing part of the story?

Also, how do you know you can hear things blocks away? Maybe it’s not really blocks away but really close by?

Also it sounds like your sleep patterns are all messed up from staying up all night; your parents should monitor you more closely and make sure you are getting a good amount of rest. And most of all get a second opinion.

I really don't understand how this topic is so active when it is an established fact that she is not a vampire...

Go see a doctor. Those symptoms are associated with migraines and Meniere's (both of which I have) as well as some other conditions. I don't know how old you are but if you're sexually active I would suggest you get a pregnancy test done. I say that because of the dizziness, sleeping a lot, smelling things better.

The one thing I CAN assure you of is that you're not a vampire.

Never fails to amaze me how fast these threads go downhill. But I digress and I'm staying off my soapbox tonight.. still you;d think a thread like this could be handled a bit better...

Hey Gypsywolf,

Can you see yourself in the mirror?

Just kidding!

Take everyones advice and go see a doctor. Could be something really simple.

take care
best regards,
seax

LOL

My jury is still out on rather or not I believe in vampires. I know a lot of gothics who claim to be vampires and I attend know LOTS of people here in TX that are dedicated to vampires who actually drink blood. I also know a lot of people who suck but that doesn't make them vampires-- it just means they suck.

Since I'm feeling brave today I'll go ahead and say it. If this is not a medical condition, DM is NOT a vampire. His symptoms sound consistent with more of a were creature and after a private conversation with him-- I'd say he's closer to were than the undead.

Before you stone me, I do consider myself an expert on weres and I do believe they exist, its just getting that proof to the masses in a digestable form that is the problem.... so until then, I'll answer any questions any one has but I will refrain from making a topic about it. There's too many out there that go no where.

Why wouldn't go downhill? You have a kiddie asking if he is a freaking vampire. Just plain ridiculous. Vampires exist only in our imagination.

How about just getting proof to one person? Hmm. For instance. ME! I won't hold my breath waiting. Prove me wrong. It would make my life wonderful.Seriously, it would.

I just noticed. We live in the same city. There is nothing to keep you from proving it.

Actually, I live right outside Dallas but you're close enough. And that amazes me that you havent found the proof you seek thus far, because TX has turned out to be a hotbed of were activity for me. I believe people are just more open to it here. The problem is that the TRUE were isn't going to get online or walk down the street and wave a flag announcing what they are. It is simply a matter of having good sense, because should people know-- that just opens a whole other door to persecution and hazing. I have found that often 'weres' are scared of what posesses them and with good reason. I could go on but this isn't the thread so once again I digress. We should continue this in IM, PM or email...

This is the rub. What you described to me in PM sounds nothing more than someones belief. You can call it spirtual, but that sounds to me a easy out. A way to NOT provide proof. It sounds no different than a mental illness, since the supposed were believes but makes no physical change. That sounds like nothing.
By the way, Texas rules.

maybe it is just you are more sensitive in night time....like the other topic about hearing voices in the night before asleep.....but yours is more complicated...you are open in every sensors you had..
also when you feel dizzy maybe it is just you consume more energy...

if i were you i just ride with it... and go with the flow hehe

Vertigo or some other sickness or maybe its psychosomatic. Sorry, there's no such thing as vampires (plus if you haven't bitten anyone, you're not a vampire). See a doctor

lol. thnx for the advice everyone, i'll look into this again

None of you can prove that vampires don't exist and I say they do.

Can you prove they do?

Oh no no no no . . . I asked first! YOU prove they don't. (glove on the other hand)

Lamest and cheapest trick in the book. Its the one people use when they know they have nothing. Onus is on the one with the claim (that'd be you...)

btw, eric, how very observant of you to not notice that i'm actually a girl, not a boy as u and some others reffered to me in earlier posts. i aprreciate your insight, and try my best to take every bit into consideration, but i'd aprreciate it also if you had the faintest clue about what you are talking about. i suggest you enlighten yourself, either as a skeptic or beleiver, by reading up from reliable sources about this subject

So you want people to prove vampires dont exist? wouldnt it be much "easier" for you to prove it... you just have to find ONE vampire, just a single one, thats not much. If instead someone have to 100% undeniably disprove it, so that noone could still claim they exists, one would have to travel the entire world, and examine every single human being, and that would be impossible. So seems like a cheap trick imo, to just ask people to disprove it.
