I am having some visual disturbances. They started about 2 years ago. They seem to be getting worse. I also have constant buzzing my ear thatis getting worse. I am mostly worried about my vision and going blind. I have never been tested for Lyme's but have been doing quite a bit of research and have felt some comfort because the symptoms include some of my own. I have an appt with a neurologist in 1 month but not sure that's the route I should take or if I should wait that long. I have had many eye tests that have all been normal along with a normal MRI with no contrast. I had a baby last Oct.2010, 2wks later got mastitis, was treated with Dycloxicillin and 8 days after got hives, all over my body, horrible reaction. I was so swollen I couldn't get out of bed, went to the ER 4 times, took prednisone and a few different antihistamines, finally cleared up after 7 days of having hives. Saw an allergist who confirmed a Penicillin allergy. I have been on Dycloxicillin 2 times before this episode and never had a reaction. I am not convinced the reaction was due to the medication. I am now wondering if it has something to do with Lyme's. I have been bit by tick's in the past but not sure if any were Deer ticks and if I had a rash or not. I am just looking for answers. My visual disturbances include, increase floaters, blurry vision in left eye, sparkly snow when in brightly lit areas, after images, black blobs when tilting head downwards. If anyone has any advice for me it would be great to hear. I also had anemia post c-sec in Oct 2010. That resolved.
