Aunty,

Excellent example of what I always say, that I'd only trust a dx if it was given me by a Neurologist. You had met an unusually insightful and professional one, on top of it.

By the way, I have terrible balance problems too, but nobody ever thought anything of it except that I'm "clumsy". I realized it can't just be general clumsiness, when (I live in a country full of stone desert) I go on strolls with 70-year old people who encounter no problem skipping the stones while I can't move without the guide's hand holding mine.

Regarding physical blindness as opposed to prosopagnosia: yes, no doubt, my story would make perfect sense to everyone if my problem was in the eye-sight realm and not in the neurological one.
