First, Merry Christmas everyone! Im up because my kind is going a 100 miles per hour and i have a little energy from my afternoon nap. Ive been very fatigued, i think mg fatigue. I cant stand for a long period of time without legs shaking but the cool whether is making my muscles last longer i think. So i found something and i wanted to share. Greenmarie brought this up a while ago. Anyways, iren syndrome i thought only effected text but it can impact an environment perception too. So i watched a.youtube video on what the symptoms look.like and the floating moving stuff is very close to my problem. So i googled mg and irlen syndrome and look what i found:

Mg is listed with.some other conditions. I read that its estimated up to 14 percent of the population have a variation of this but dont know. im not saying this is from mg but i couldn't grieve it was referenced. Its just so odd bevause i was very gifted as a child but had adhd and i always skipped lines and had to use a finger to.follow the words. I also cannot stand bright lights ir florescent lighting, it makes my head and eyes hurt. My.mother always kept the curtains closed because she cant deal.with.brightness either. It makes me wonder if she has reading.problems. Anyways, just wanted to share. I

Sorry for the typos and some wrong words in there. Im on the phone tonight and its hard to write sometimes and autocorrect changes the words.

Wow! That's fascinating. I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 21 yrs old. My dad is dyslexic as well. I have several times talked about how words just seem to float off of a page or move. Like you, I have skipped lines when reading but also have to re-read things all the time to be able to follow along. I was also very bright but things became difficult for me when I had to do things like diagram a sentence or explain sentence structure. I just couldn't understand it and it all seemed so distorted to me.

Thanks for sharing this. I am going to try to find some more research on the topic and see what I come up with. Please let me know if you found out anything else. I have to wonder if this is a possibility for me as well.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas. You should get some rest so you don't over do it tomorrow (today). Have a good day.
Hugs
Angie

I'm not trying to resurrect an old thread, but this was very interesting to me, as I am having some eye pain and looking at migraine symptoms and other clues with my MG. The link on the first page is dead, but I don't know how many people know about the way back archive.

You can go to their website, and use a link that is dead and many times they have it saved so you can still see it. Good luck!

Hey David. Below is the updated link:

That's interesting about what you posted. I tried using the way back machine to search for the broken link and it didn't work. Did you get it to work? This might be helpful for me to look at some old threads/info that I've been trying to find.

I did get it to work. Sorry, the link I posted, the forum broke it into two. Take the original link, and paste it right on their website at http://archive.org/web/

Strizz,
You can use a general search engine for old daily strength posts. Some of the older posts are also referenced in the links group and if you encounter problems with the links there, let the founder or an administrator know.

When I use a general search engine (like Google or Dog Pile), I put Daily Strength first before the key words. This has worked well for me. b.
