Hi everyone - I have had vision problems in the past - specifically double vision - associated with MS, but those were suspected to be due to a lesion on my brainstem area and were not ON.
Over the last several weeks, I've had a couple of episodes where I've had kind of a blind spot/shimmery spot in the center of my vision - it's been similar to how if you look at a bright light for a minute then look away it leaves sort of a "shadow" in your field of vision, except for me the shadow has been kind of shimmery and blurred. (sorry I'm not explaining this well). These episodes only last for about an hour, though my eyes feel generally strained & tired. And it seems to affect both eyes, not just one.
I would tend to think that once ON happens the visual disturbances would be fairly constant and may not be the same in both eyes, but wanted to hear if any of you had experienced anything like this before?
If it's not ON, is this something that could still be caused by lesion activity? Or unrelated - I know it's easy to blame everything on MS. :S
I have left a message with my neuro to talk about this but wanted to see anecdotally if anyone on the board has had a similar experience.
