call me crazy, but i think it's a syndrome

So when I was a younger gal I used to sit and watch tv with the fam in the evenings... surprise surprise

Well at times, when I was sitting and watching tv, suddenly things would appear small and far away. The tv would appear to be the size of a match box sitting on a tiny tv stand. I could shake it off pretty easily, but it was still weird, right?!?! Well it happened on several different occasions, and so at one point i told my mother, and she being the concerned mother that she is, had no idea how to take the phrase, 'mom, things are getting smaller.' Eventually it stopped happening, and I never quite figured out what it was...

...that is, until the other day when my roommate summer and i were watching 'medical mysteries' on abcnews. you may see where this is going... the very first medical mystery that they discussed was this family whose daughters claimed that at times objects would suddenly appear large and distorted (i.e. a doorknob the size of an entire door) or at other times they would be really small and far away (i.e. a tea kettle appearing to be the size of a doll house tea cup) . The diagnosis and common name of this happening is called 'alice in wonderland syndrome' which makes sense because alice would 'take one to make you small', and 'take one to make you tall'. the mother of the family said that she also remembered that happening when she was younger too. the scientists/doctors working on finding out more about the syndrome have also linked it to migraines, and things occurring in that part of the brain.

needless to say, mom, i'm not crazy... i just have a syndrome, and thank goodness i don't have the werewolf like disease that it was followed up by. thank you 'medical mysteries' for explaining one of the oddities of my childhood.
