Had the results of a blood test and it showed everything was normal. So this leaves either PNI or a brain tumour. I get moments of sheer panic that I will be leaving my 4 children and husband behind. Other times I can rationalise it is PNI. How many people have had MRI's/CT scans? Thanks, as always  |

Does anyone find their vision is worse in poor light? Find the darker it is the grainier everything appears.

Hi
Bizarrely enough mine seems to get better when it gets dark as I seem to quite sensitve to it. Or maybe I don't really go out once it's dark, so I dont' notice it as much.
I;ve been feeling quite spaced out the past few days and noticed my eyesight's worsened. Don't know whether it's to do with my period finishing, being tired or what. Went to aerobics today as exercise normally shifts the spaciness for me, but just ended up pulling a muscle in my back!
6ft blond, I had a CT scan of my sinuses and everything was normal. I used tobe like you - the thought of dying and my children used to scare the shit out of me to the point I couldnt eat, sleep etc. It was horrible. This was partly due to the fact I felt so ill with all these weird symptoms I'd never had before and no one could explain wehat they were. Like you my blood tests were all normal.
Your dr sounds as if he's checking you out ie blood tests, performing neurological tests on you etc. It probably is PNI, but I totally understand your anxieties. Are you on meds (you've prob said, but I've forgotten - sorry!)

Hi, Just reading about vision problems and would just like to say i am suffering with it as we speak. I feel as if i am going blind sometimes it gets so bad. i agree though that tiredness makes it worse. Also i feel muggy headed all the time and always wonder if im going to faint. makes you feel like you must have something dreadful wrong with you but with so many of us suffering from the same symtons it must be caused by this awful illness, which does make me feel slightly better.

Dear Hayley
As I wrote above, I had similar symtpoms that drove me nuts. I never got an explanation as to why my eyesight deteriorated ( I saw several eye specialists one of whom said I had the healthiest eyes he'd seen all day in that partiuclar eye hospital). I too had the muggy, foggy head. To me it felt as if I was deep inside myself looking out but if felt horrible as this was 24/7. I later found out from a cpn specialising in PND that this can be a symptom of depression.
Are you on any meds? I took antids (citaopram) and the spaciness lifted quite quickly. I had other probs with my eyes. The eye sight thing has slowly improved (it's been 2 1/2 years) but not to how it was before. have you had your eyes checked out by an optician? Again, I've heard that a woman's eyesight can deteriorate after having a baby adn should return to normal.
How are yuo doing in general, if you dont' mind me asking
Monica

Hi Hayley
I have been suffering for nearly a year now with feeling dizzy/muggy head/ blurred vision. It has started to improve and some days it isn't so bad. It was definately worse at the beginning.
I would say that whilst it will prob be pni related to get checked out with GP/optician anyway just to make sure it is not something else. I lived in my GP surgery for the the first few months of this!
Hope you are doing ok otherwise?
Take Care

I have found that the various meds I've been on can make your vision worse and everything spacey. Thankfully what I'm on at the moment doesnt effect my vision.
Marion.

Hi thanks for the replies. not on any meds.tried two different anti d's but made me feel worse. have had eyes checked by optician and dr and they are fine. dr says it is due to tiredness! My health in general has not been good since i had my 3rd baby 6 months agobut to be honest i felt ill all through this pregnancy whereas the other two were fine. the worst bit though is this vision thing because its just such a weird feeling. makes me feel as if im going to pass out although i never have but makes you scared to leave the house. good to hear that it does generally improve. will be awaiting that day. thanks for replying. love hayley x
