My vision has been bothering me...I know another lyme symptom but I can't tolerate wearing contact lenses right now.

Is this just another lyme symptom and does it come and go like every thing else?

My vision has been driving me bonkers for the last few weeks and I can't tolerate the light. This symptom hasn't bothered me in a long long time.

Did vision resolve during treatment for most everyone? Tomorrow I think I'll call the eye doc but doubt she'll come up with anything.

However, I haven't been able to wear my contact lenses for a year. I wear a new retro (HA) look with glasses.

The eye migraine pain comes and goes, but light sensitivity and blurred vision has been one of my 'stronger' and more 'consistent' symptoms. (Of course it is because I'm vain)

I have been told to get a prescription tinted eye glass as well as a poloroid type deep sunglasses as well. Can't remember exactly what the wording was for both these glasses --

I'm taking mino right now and of course it's driving me crazy. Maybe that's why my vision is so affected although this is the worst it's ever been.

Allergies this year have been unbearble. My alternative doc said that's a good sign because for the previous 2 years I had no allergy symptoms. She felt my immune system was so compromised that allergies couldn't even produce and that was a very bad sign.

She feels I'm making progress because of this.

Digirl02, I'm like you I don't like wearing glasses but that may be my only alternative.

I feel like I've always been light sensitive and always have a pair of sunglasses with me. Those bright days are awful aren't they? I am remembering those rare days when it was so bad that I would be suddently blinded by tears.

Finally went to an eye doctor thinking my prescription needed to be revised. It took me awhile to get around to it.

My eyes weren't off when I saw him and my prescription only changed minimally. I forget what the eye doctor exactly said to me but in response I told him that I would get pinpricks in my face sometimes. He did some tests and concluded that my optic nerve was fine. He suggested I see my doc which I did and she sent me to a neurologist. Ended up going to two neurologist (lots of tests) and I guess my story is the same here as so many others that were told nothing was wrong with them.

The eyes was the beginning of the symptoms although I didn't discover I had Lyme until just this year and only then because my son played sports with a child whose whole family is infected.

Anyhow, my eyes now are out of focus with one another about once a month for two -five days at a time. I can thankfully still wear contacts.

Those of you who can't is it because your eyes are too dry or do the contacts just irritate them? I think someone said the light is too much so you really need protection shielding them?

I'm taking ceftin and doxy and didn't get the unfocused thing this month to badly. BEfore adding the doxy to the ceftin I would have to squint at work on those "off" days. Tnagel, the doxy really seems to be doing the trick for my eyes and the brain fog I was having. Its so hard. Different drugs seem to work so differently for some.

I met a woman recently who told me she lost all perpherial vision for awhile. Most of it came back, some was lost permanently.

I do use the KMT frequencies frequently to alert my eyes - it does wonders.

Keep on treating, with whatever your body can handle, even if you are not on abx for reasons you have told before. Do not worry, you will not lose your vision - but address all aspects with whatever works for you.

All allergies will disappear also - once your Autnomic Nervous System finds its balance again. I was allergic to literally the whole world, so I felt. None of that is left. So keep on -------------

For some of the good bacteria to reestablish themselves, have you tried Essential Microbes. It costs pennies and is worth a million. I have posted about it several times. But when something doesn't cost - people seem to ignore it. Wrong, wrong - it is of utmost importance, especially when allergies are involved.

Take care.
