Optic neuritis? Lyme in/near optic nerve...similar to how it causes bells but different nerve
Years ago i lived in very endemic plac and many young horses were getting optic neuritis abd vets couldnt figure it out
Eventually they linked it to lyme...it is well known now so neuro should figure it out(if his brain is working)...neuros dont have a history of helping us much
Praying you see a good one and get this resolved

Someone told me blood clots could be an issue. Better get yourself checked out.
Also, I really like turmeric as an anti-inflam in general - seems to get to my inflam - I get it in bulk at the health food store and dip 00-size capsules into it.
Mangosteen juice still is THE supplement that keeps my eyes healthy.
And, I know we're all different and need to seek out our answers.

Hi Everyone
Thanks for your support and info!!!!
I had more test done yesterday. I have to see my family regular doctor tomorrow for results.
I had a ultrasound of my carottid arteries.
They already did two brain cat scans.
They found no cats or brains. HE HE !!
The neural doctor can't get me in till January.
My regular doctor I hope can pull some strings and get me in sooner.
I hope my arteries to what brain I have left are not plugged.

Hi Maddog. So sorry for what you are experiencing! What you are going through sounds much worse than this, but I have had some 'ocular migraines' in the past that caused me to temporarily lose vision in one eye with a large 'blind spot' in addition to seeing something flickering to the side - that was like a kaleidoscope or fast ferris wheel going around.
These episodes would pass within about a half hour for me but I think I would have visual changes for days before the actual migraine attacks. I had no new head aches with these episodes, but just my usual head pressure.
I don't know if this helps at all, but I figure the more information you have, the better. Best of luck to you. I am glad you are getting things checked out and they didn't find any brains or cats with your testing. Posts: 2386 | From New England | Registered: Aug 2011

No cats or brains!
Reminds me of when my hubby had a cat scan when he was having severe headaches....
The nurse called to say what the results were : There's nothing there"
We have laughed about it ever since "What? No brains?"
Hoping your results are all good.

Hi everyone. My carotid arteries were not plugged up. so no one knows what is going on.
I stopped taking my diclofenac, it can cause a stroke. I stopped the T shots they can cause a stroke.
I an back on the bicillin shots.
No strokes in a few days now !!!
