Sorry about 2 posts on top of each other. Been meaning to ask you guys about this but the boys have been home for the holiday so the computer has been hogged. Plus I have been having SEVERE fatigue. My cytomegalovirus has been acting up like it likes to do every 6 weeks or so and that little sucker always wears me out!
For about 1 week now I have been seeing this little silver circles in front of my eyes. I know you will know what I mean when I describe what they are like. Imagine when your a kid and you like doing weird things with your eyes to see the strange things that will happen when you do. One of them is shutting your eyes as very tight as you can and then opening them fast in a bright sunny room or a bright sunny day. Remember those crazy little silver circles that would dance around all over the place?
Well, that is what I have been having. Except I am not a kid anymore and I am not trying to play games. I am not closing my eyes tight and it happens in all kind of places including a dimly lit bedroom. Any ideas? It is just briefly. My eyes are really messing up on me and I might need to see a neuroopthalmologist as my opth. suggested. Well, I will wait till I get my probably negative for anything-which-proves-Tamye-is-a-psychosomotic freak-just-like-her-mom-thinks MRI results. Maybe Friday. Thanks for any ideas or anything. Friends..... Irish

I've had these little flashes for a few seconds in a pitch black or very dimly lit room a little while before optic nuritus shows up. I've had the ON about 6 times since I was diagnosed with MS.
I hope this passes for you!

hahahahaha, that was worded in a way I found very funny. BUT, You are NOT a physcosomotic freak. A clean MRI doesn't prove anything except that they haven't figured it out yet.
I get weird "dancing spots" fairly regularly, my opto and neuro-opto couldn't find anything except a "possible slight tear in the retina" so I just live with it "unless it gets worse".
