i have diabetes too so not sure what is what.. havent had my eyes tested in yrs.. which i should.. have to see if medicade covers that or not. i get a bit of blury vision but not bad.. i dont beleive it has anything to do with fibro tho.. eyes can get blurry due to alot of things.. lack of sleep for one.. or looking at the computer screen alot etc.. but going to call and check on coverage.. i just hate the getting them dialated.. yuck.. :)

I agree DDntn, we do start to have health problems etc after 40, however I know that this problem is related to fibro due to tests and dr consultations I've undergone.
I also know that one of my meds is contributing, it's a combination.
Sorry you're having problems bluesun, you're way too young.

Ozfm I hope they can find the problem with your eyes and fix it. Do you think its meds. I know a read a side effect of some meds is blurry vision. I only have sight in one eye now so I know how precious sight is and scared about going blind everyday.

Hope it all works out, keep us updated please.

y eyesight gets blurry alot now that I have fibro. I hate it.

First, as for the avatar, for many of us they are an expression of either who we are or how we are feeling. I would never dream of telling anyone what to have as their avatar. "Inappropriate" is in the eye of the beholder. As far as I'm concerned, this is a freedom of expression issue. I have been known to "express" myself by putting up an old wrinkled woman "shooting the bird" at the world. We all just need to get over ourselves and stop sweating the small stuff.

As for vision - make sure your doctor looks are your corneas under magnification. "Dry eye," which a lot of us suffer from, can blur vision to an amazing degree. I have been fighting with this for nearly a year, and after all that time of being religious about my overall hydration (I tend not to drink enough water), and using eye drops, I am finally able to see out of my left eye well enough to read most print again. It still looks like I'm looking through a dirty windshield, but it's much better.

I would not have known this if I didn't get my eyes rechecked by my opthalmologist.

Ozfm I was at this site reading about fibro dance which I posted. I read this which is causing your vision problems and my ear problems,

Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) trigger points are located in the muscle group located in the side of the neck, the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) complex. Trigger points in the SCM complex can affect the eye and the sinuses, and cause blurred vision, dizziness, sinusitis, dental problems, and ringing in the ears. SCM trigger points can be aggravated by a poorly designed work area that promotes bad posture, or even working when you are tired. A special pillow that fits your neck curvature may relieve symptoms caused by SCM trigger points


This is probably what causes your blurry vision and my ear pain when I had such neck pain.

I will check out info on the special pillow.

that interesting DD,,cos i have all those symptoms u mentioned..i have a lump not on the side of my neck muscle its been there 4 or 5 years..wow!! i didnt know about this trigger point..thnx Di.xx
