Hi Jackie o & Nan,For the double vision, see an opthamologist that specializes in glaucoma, irisitis, and uveitis. I am 57 yrs old, my eyes were like that for the last 5 years, only getting worse.
Took abx from Oct 2003 - Apr 2004. During that time my eyes were so much much better. When came off abx, a month later pain, double vision, loss of vision, headaches, spacey feeling, dry dry eyes, a feeling like my eye was just not all there and on top lots and lots of migraine like headaches.
I suffered an acute low-angle glaucoma attack, had to have major open eye surgery (2 flaps put in), have lost of 40% of vision in right eye (horizontal and verticial double vision). The opthomologist (sp?) I had been seeing for the last 3 years misdiagnosed it, said it was only migraines and stress.
I still have 1 1/2 week left taking prednosolone (a big nono with lyme) and then hopefully can start again. I am really worried about what is going to happen to my eyes and eye sight. The pain from the glaucoma attack was the worst I have every experienced.
If seeing an opthomologist, insist on having several different kinds of testing done. My glaucoma specialist was able to tell by feeling/pressing/touching my eye through my eyelid skin that the pressure was inaccurate and did a special test himeself. I was 40, way way too high (supposed to be around 12 - 15), had immediate surgery.
As to your grandson, yep the multi-colored circles I had for years, except nobody believed me.
I am sure the treatment plus supplies for healthy eyes will help him. I have been reading some reports about vasculitis and eye muscles, so taking something for muscles is good. Anyways, I hope you jackie o and nan's grandson get better.
Once I am back on abx, I will try to let everyone know my progress. My own computer is still acting up, so here I am at work after hours doing some online reading and just this one post.
