OK, diet update. On the keto diet for 18 days. My headaches much reduced, no double vision, walk much less jolty, balance better but no weight loss. On low calorie diet for last 5. Losing half a lb a day but all those symptoms are back.

Wow, if that's your deficit and not your intake, IMO that'd be the first explanation for any bad side effects. Obviously all up to you, but I think most sources recommend trying to lose no more than 2lbs/week.
-
There's no bad side effects. I'm losing weight. It just doesn't counteract the effects of my neurological condition like the keto diet did.
-
I guess I'm saying: * If keto helps your neuro conditions, * And the main change is you're now keto with very few calories, * And suddenly it's not helping your neuro conditions... Then the large calorie deficit is the first thing to look at.
-
No, I went off the keto diet onto a low calorie one
-
Oh! Sorry, misunderstood that completely. Why not eat keto but with fewer calories, out of interest?
-
Hunger, mostly. Keto is high fat so high calorie. You could eat very little on a keto diet if you were also keeping to 1,200 calories. Two small meals a day.

I hate to dietsplain again, but the two approaches aren't mutually exclusive. The percentage approach, in my exp and judging by what people over at /r/keto do, isn't how most people do keto. I'd suggest posting there for crowd wisdom (and community).
-
You can certainly do a low calorie keto diet but then you hardly get to eat anything and hunger becomes a problem coz fat has no many calories.
-
For most people from what I've seen it's generally less stressful that just low cal. Could be different for you, I suppose, everyone's body works different. Or it could actually help click things into place. Won't know unless you experiment.
