Hi Claudette: I have't been able to get any answers
for my problem. The doctor said I have a cluster
migraine combination with visual disturbances. I
have been having double vision as well as trouble
focusing now for a month. This was preceded by two
weeks of moderate headaches with the exception of
the first night, that headache lasted about 12
hours and was pretty bad. I have had a ct scan and
all the blood work and everything is fine. I was
of work since my vision went out. I have been to
the doctor 7 or 8 times still with no answers. The
weird thing is sometimes my vision is good and if
I go outside in the light my vision trips out and
I can't seem to focus. If I tilt my head to the
right I see double but when I tilt it back to the
left it clears up and I see pretty normal. I have
been to an optomitrist and a massage therapist.
Nobody can give me any answers and still I have
this vision problem. I am like a yoyo emotionally,
up when my vision improves and down when it trips
out. We had to cancel our vacation because I can't
drive a long distance. It is very frustrating when
in 1999 the medical profession can't seem to give
me any answers. It may as well be 1899 for me. So
I know somewhat of the frustration you feel. It
affects your everyday life but you try to deal
with it and carry on but it is difficult. Hang in
there and maybe we will come around, please God.
I hope you will feel better soon. I will be thinking
about you.
May you be pain free soon.
Glenn
