So I've noticed that I show many DID symptoms, obvious ones being the alters.
Does anyone else have daily headaches of varying intensities?
I have those and migraines sometimes that put me out of commission in a dark room.
I also found that standing up even slowly blacks out my vision and sometimes even makes me switch. Does anyone else have similar cases.

Headache and migraines are often linked to dissociation and other mental disorders (at least in some literature). Migraines are however not exclusively a symptom of DID or dissociation. Migraine is a neurological condition and should be treated with proper medication. I'm not sure if treating psychological issues will cure that. (But if it does, then it's better than using drugs.) Does medication or any standard treatment help?
I may easily get headaches, but I don't usually link it to dissociation. Sometimes, maybe, but not in general. I would rather think it's stress in general that causes it for me.
Hmm, is that presyncope you are describing? Does it occur a lot in general or do you connect it to specific triggers?
When you say you 'switch' due to this presyncope (or whatever it is), what do you mean by that? Is this blacking out of vision a sign that tells you when a switch will happen, you think?
Hmm, no, I cannot say I would experience that kind of dizziness or blacking out vision. I often feel a certain form of derealization where the feeling reminds me of dizziness but it is still not dizziness. It is more like experiencing the surrounding getting "wavy".
