Ok I'm getting alittle frustrated with this one. When I went to the ER a month ago with severe eye pain ..headache and of course the nasty burning sensation with pins and needles in my right arm. The the triage nurse noticed he pupil difference in my right eye. I knew the night before. At e times it wasn't major difference but it was constricting with bright light like my left was. The ER doctor whom was at eye level with me did a vague look and said he didn't notice anything. I also told my doc but he didn't even bother to look in my eye which I thought was strange. I'm going to call my eye Dr on Monday since it's slightly worse in my right and now it's starting in my right. Has anyone here experienced this. I'm alittle worried this whole time it could be ON and no one bothered to check it since at the time they thought it was due to a tumor that I never had.

The pupil dilation could be from so many things, including meds, spinal lesions, ect. I was given cogentin once and mine were like saucers for 2 weeks. The muscle relaxers can do it too (the pupil size is controlled by a muscle). I would call the othamologist too!

I don't take my Baclofen on a regular basis so I wouldn't think it's from them.. what happens is when bright light hits them they constrict but reopen when they should be staying small due to the brightness. At first it was only the right eye..which is where the pain started but now the pain and the pupil thing as gone to my right as well. I'm not on any other meds I'm still undx'ed. No lesions on brain MRI. I haven't had a spinal MRI yet..I'm still waiting to see a Neuro. I did read ON can affect the pupils just wondered if anyone else noticed this or their Dr's told them this.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
