I was diagnosed with Lyme 2 months ago after being sick for about 8 months. My vision is driving me crazy. I'm on 400mg of Doxy a day and also just started taking Cat's Claw. I've been on the Doxy for 2 months and I feel like it had helped some other symptoms but not the vision ones. My vision problems are Floaters, Light Sensitivity, Sparkly "static" vision, and trouble focusing. Has anyone actually got rid of any of these symptoms? I feel like I'm going to be stuck like this..... Posts: 17 | From Boston | Registered: Apr 2007

My floaters remain & actually got worse during the intensive treatment at one point; my light sensitivity did improve, but is not gone. I still see flashes of light, though less often.
Things in my vision still vibrate, thogh not as badly. This after 2 years of intensive treatment with Dr. H. and many years before that of sporadic low-dose treatment.
I couldn't drive at night without getting dizzy & feeling faint - this year I was able to drive short distances at night and not even think about it.
Looking at PC monitor & TV & movies can sometimes make me dizzy.

Two years ago my vision got so bad I was dangerous out there on the highway. I had to give up traveling all over the country.
Herbs helped tremendously, for quite awhile, but the past few months my vision has gotten worse again, though not as bad as before herbs.
I am actually pretty good in the morning and early afternoon, but bad at night, like now.
It is especially bad when I spend so many hours at the computer on the net here.
Things that help your vision are Stephania Root and Periwinkle tincture.

Hello Jim. How long are you on Stephania herb? I'll start this from next week and I'd like to ask how long does it take to see any change? Right now I'm on abx treatment from 3 months and see no changes. My worst symptoms: tons of floaters , entopic phenomenon, dizziness, eyes pain. These are of course linked to my eyes but I have a lot more of this stuff
