Please describe the condition. I do not know what you are talking about. Do you take a lot of LSD?

Yeah ! I have now discovered many women suffer from it, from the size of your wallet to the size of your dick !

its not the same thing as a sort of body dysmorphic disorder sort of thing, where you have a localized perceptual thing, in which, hands, feet, extremities, seem to be of a much larger or smaller size to the sufferer? Ive heard it described by some as that..

As a teenager, I remember sitting on the floor in the hallway of our high school, waiting to take a test. The walls and ceiling seemed to rise and I felt small as a bug. I have termed it a passing dissociative episode and understood it is not unusual in adolescents. I do however have migraines and an ever-changing and evolving array of auras and symptoms. I hope your AIWS is not too distressing and perhaps one day the episodes will decrease or vanish. It does seem likely that it is neurological and genetic, as migraines are. Good luck to you, Friend.

This is brand new to me. I had to Google the term. Wow! Learning!

Oh my goodness I experience this often when I close my eyes and I'm trying to sleep. I never knew other people experienced things like that. I've never personally had any of those experiences while my eyes were open. It only happened when my mind was under deep stress and anxiety and I was trying to calm myself

It's not strange that people here don't know about it. It's a kinda rare genetic disorder (I think it's genetic because my brother suffers from it as well). Even I didn't know the name for it until last year, although I have been experiencing it since I was a toddler. In fact, my first memory was an episode of it.
I experience AIWS in episodes that can last from seconds to hours, if I let it.
The experience is quite difficult to describe. There is distortion in size. The distortion is usually very great. I might view myself as a fraction of an ant compared to the room I am sitting. Or view a pickup truck as the size of a mobile phone. Sometimes it comes as infinitely number of a particular object or objects. In fact, it could come as infinite number of my whole 3D surrounding.
For those who saw Marvel's "Dr. Strange", it is quite similar to the multiple hand illusion that the sorceress supreme threw Dr Strange into when the first met.
Usually I have episodes of AIWS when I want to try to sleep or when I sit still in a position for extended period of time without moving my muscles. The intensity and frequency of AIWS is increased by depression and tiredness. I stop the episode by walking around, moving my muscles in other ways or trying to bring my mind back into the now.
I know I'm typing too much, but it is quite difficult going through a syndrome that is very rare and so little is known about it that even most doctors have never heard of it.
I hope I'll meet people with similar symptoms. At least I'll know I'm not alone.

Never knew it existed till now !   Live and learn ?

OK, I almost passed on the post because I didn't realise what it was, the term is unfamiliar.
Have had it since about 14, brought on by stress back then. Doctors decided it was sinus so I had them scraped. Flashy wavy lights continued with headaches in times of stress, particularly on overcast days or under fluorescent lights. Last year I had surgery for pterygium but it did not help. I just avoid going outside if it is overcast, fluros. Lying down in teh quiet with a pillow over my head helps.

No, but I experienced some of the same symptoms when half delirious with malaria and dengue fever.

Also, when totally trashed on cannabis oil

Would you mind telling our studio audience a little bit about AIWS and how it has affected your life?
