HI ALL. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER SUFFERED ONE EYE GOING TOTALLY CROSSED FOR FOR JUST A SHORT TIME. I WAS TALKING TO MY DAUGHTER TODAY, WHO WAS DX ABOUT 2 1/2 YRS AGO WITH RRMS. I HAVE MENTIONED A FEW THINGS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED DURING MY LIFE TIME, SUCH AS THE ONE EYE CROSSED FOR ABOUT 10 MIN, THEN CORRECTED, ALSO HAD A SEVERE SHOULDER PAIN FOR ABOUT 1 YR, TO WHICH I LOST ALOT OF MY MUSCLE MASS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO USE IT. AT THAT TIME WAS GOING TO A CHIRO FAITHFULLY, AND FINALLY WENT AWAY. NOW JUST RECENT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE HAIR ON MY FINGERS ONLY ON MY RIGHT HAND. AT FIRST WAS LOOKING FOR IT, THEN I REALIZED IT WAS JUST ME, WHAT A STRANGE FEELING I WAS HAVING. MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE CALLS THIS SPIDER WEBS FOR HER. SHE SAID MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE AN MRI, MAYBE?? JUST CURIOUS. THANK YOU FOR ALL RESPONSES.

Hi there, I get this a lot. I also have one eye that gets a constant rolling, nystagmus, in it. It is like the horizontal hold has gone on the TV, everything rolls.

I also get a "ghost" outline in one eye and not the other. Mind you I have also lost a lot of sight in that same eye permanently from ON.

I HAVE A STIGMATISM IN BOTH EYES, AND THERE IS TIMES WHEN I'M WATCHING TV, THE LETTERING LET SAY ON THE NEWS CHANNELS ARE DOUBLE. INSTEAD OF ONE LINE OF INFO THERE ARE TWO:) THIS ALSO COMES AND GOES. I GUESS INSTEAD OF SECOND GUESSING, I SHOULD MAKE AN EYE APPT. THE ONLY REASON I PUT IT OFF, IS BECAUSE IT COMES AND GOES. THE ONE CROSSED EYE BIT, WAS ONLY A ONE TIME THING, AND THAT WAS A FEW YEARS BACK. I NEVER THOUGHT OF HAVING IT MYSELF. I AM SO FOCUSED ON MY DAUGHTERS HEALTH. HER DX CAME AFTER A BOUT OF DOUBLE VISION, HER EYES WEREN'T CROSSED, JUST THE DOUBLE VISION. NOW THAT SHE LOOKS BACK AT ALL THE SYMPYOMS WE NOW KNOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE, WE FIGURE SHE HAS HAD IT LONG BEFORE THE DX. THANKS FOR ANY RESPONSE:)

An MRI wouldn't hurt...it could rule out things. I have had the vision problems....I still get vision problems ...but it doesn't last as long as it used to, thank goodness. I have pain in various parts of my body...that can last for days to weeks.
wish u well
