eyes problem

AusSue
AusSue
I have had problems with right eye whe I had a flare up once but not severe or lasting long. Often my right eye seems to get tired & semi
closes which makes focus harder etc.
Yesteday after we had done out shoppung we got home & my right eye was like it had a blur spot on the glasses right in the middle of my
vision. It made me feel really unbalanced & I couldnt focus unless I shut the right eye. It gradually eased after I laid on couch & had a
frozen kool ice (coloured tube). Dont think I was dehydrated as had been drinking while out. This was the first time I have had the
vision go like that & scary. Other symptoms were playing up too like both legs spasm & weak & fingers same,, cant straighten.
I got eye drops in last night to try & help. Again during the nightboth legs spasmd & were stiff. & left arm too. Today we went around
to the local shops, I was on scooter & david walked, I had my sunglasses on over my normal glasses & they block the sun. Anyway I
got home & the right eye is the same as yesterday. David couldnt get eye drops in right eye (worst) as I cant iopen it much & it hurt when he trird to.
If I turn my head I cant see proper & every thing looks shaky.
Worriedthat as I was already going through a flare with legs, arms & concentration/speech crap so does this mean it is getting worse with
a new symptom?
Sorry for another long one with my symptoms but I am scared & dont know what to do.
Thanks in advance - sotty for typos but struggling to read waht I typed so just leaving it.

I am sorry you are going thru that. Yes its a symptom don't know if it would classify as a flare. It might be tho. I would call your neuro and see what he/she has to say. I get blurry vision when I over do it and get tired. Sometimes I get it out of the blue. I hope things work out for you.
many hugs

I also have had blurry vision, unfortunatley it is an attack. It will go away, so try to stay positive. We will keep supporting you:)

Thanks for your support. It does help to be able to talk to others who understand. My right eye is still quivering & shutting & this afternoon my left side of the mouth is numb & tongue feels swollen. My symptoms always are right side at top of head then left side from mouth down. I have been on oral cortisone for 10 days & today is 1st day off it so may be that. Not sure what is happening, flare up or reaction to going off cortisone. It is a long weekendhere so I wont be able to contact the neurologist till Tues (sun now) unless I go to emergency, Hope dont have to do that.
Hugs Sue

Not sure if it an attack or just a "new" symptom. When my eye gets really bad and the spasms are out of control, thats when I know it is a flare. But my eye will just go blurry for a few days and go away, thats when I know its not a flare. I would call your doctor and get it checked out, you made need some steroids. Good luck

I have some minor vision problems that have started to come and go. Namely blurry vision, occasional double vision and flashes of light/colour that interfere with my vision.The neuro I saw (once) dismissed it as being due to my squint. However I've had the squint since birth (partially corrected at age 2) and am CERTAIN it is unrelated. How do I convince my doctors???

I too have eye problems. Blurry, double vision when Im tired or in the eve's. It is a symtom that is very hard for me.

I think it is part of the mS symptoms but you do need to get it checked out and if you get worried go to the emergency. Better to be safe than sorry as they say. *hugs* hope it settle down for you quickly

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
