i'm new here so first off hi to all.(rubbish grammar)
to start off with ,had oct test done end of 2009 which turned out fine, had follow up yesterday which showed left eye in the red ,right eye in the yellow ,he said the retinal nerve fibres had thinned. field test had improved from last field test( a year ago ), eye sight had improved from oringinal.
to explain how i ended up going to ophthalmologist my left eye decreased in vision and went blurry (much better now) i seem to have contrast issues especially dull rooms and started getting flashes in eyes at night (flashes only lasted couple of weeks) or sound induced too,my depth perception went nearly to non existent ,which was very good some years before(4-5) as i get checked for work reasons.opto did mri which was normal (2009).my opto said there is some drusen which thinks is causing it, however after reading on this site i'm going to get second opinion from a neuro-optamolgist.
on top of this the last 3 years , i have back problems(l5-s1) sciatica which i've noticed gets worse in shower ,burning down arms and a funny sensation kinda like sciatica in arms , ended up in hospital from severe pain in eyes,vomiting,dizzy head ache(woke up like this)also recently had operation on tubes to help urinate easier , which i do so often ,still some trouble starting and lately extreme fatigue in my arms, shoulders and neck which feel very heavy ,sore and light burning sensation.also according to doctor i woke up with severe "tennis elbow" and numbness in wrist or it's in my head ,i've stopped going to doctor to complain because i feel stupid at this point being told its in your head.....confusingly most of my symptoms (usually painful) seem to come and go except my back pain that's so regular and bad i that i haven't ran or played any sports in 4 years.i am 31 years old and over the last couple years i noticed a few more strange things happen which no apparent cause ........thoughts any one especially on oct findings.
many thanks........
