Title: BLURRY VISION
Post by BB on Aug 30^th, 2006, 7:50am

Hello all

My DH often have quite blurry vision after an attack which can last for several hours to sometimes all day. He describes its like he is shortsighted and not wearing glasses. He often gets double vision also.

He is on Verapamil, Lyrica and Imigran ( Imitrex ) injection. I wonder if thats the CH causing the blurry vision or is it the medication?

Does anyone else have this ? Thanks for your input.

Annette

I've never experienced it for that long.just a few seconds and it is most likely from burying my palm into my eye.

Doctor time!

Good luck!!!

Never experienced blurry vision I could ascribe to CH. Sometimes it's more difficult to focus when I'm sleep-deprived, however. I'm also near-sighted anyway.

I'm with E2 on this. Could be nothing, but worth talking to the Dr about.

Best regards,

George

Thanks E Double and George,

I checked the medication list of side effects and found them to be of Lyrica, it also started at the time he started on Lyrica, so I guess its that, but will double check with the specialist.

Anybody here using Lyrica and whether you have had the same side effects?

Thanks and painfree wishes to all.
