I constantly flip letters and numbers. I don't think that counts as dyslexia though.

It doesn't. Dyslexia amounts to more than mixing up letters. Everyone does that.

It was worse for me as a child, when I read they lines on the page would cross. Also the meanings of the different letters and numbers would constantly flip. read 4 and say 7 etc...
Ever tried vision therapy? If you haven't, you could check this list of symptoms to see if any are applicable.

My best friend is dyslexic, and he suffered a lot for it as a child. He still does, because of all the different problems dyslexia causes, but he has less trouble with reading now, after watching countless tv series with subtitles and some comics. He has been reading a copy of Watchmen I lent him for some months now, and he has even asked me to find a book for him to read. An actual book!
I'm pretty proud of him.

There are different types of dyslexia, too. For example, I knew a girl in Fargo who had no sense of direction. Her brain could not handle things like that. If she got out of visual range of her house she was immediately lost and couldn't find her way back. Certain major and known things could clue her in (the neighbor's tree, a corner store, etc) but they could only tell her she was in the right area.
It was weird but how scary would it be to walk a couple of feet and be totally lost and unable to get home?
