I rarely start Threads
In January 2014 I started having problems with my left eye.
I would have pain at the left temple with a direct line of pain to the left eye and had a problem with blurred and double vision. It was also uncomfortable and difficult when moving my eye or trying to look in certain directions. Within approximately 1 or 2 weeks I had a growth on the eyeball. April 30th, 2014 I had the growth removed and biopsied, it was a benign Cyst.
The Eye Surgeon said the Cyst was not attached to any nerves or muscle, it was on the surface. The Cyst was a decent size as I would squish it when closing my eye
Here I am almost one year later and I still have temple pain and double vision. The double vision is only when I look to the right.
Before the Cyst was removed I had a CT scan of the orbits and all was normal. I have seen 2 different Ophthalmologists, an Eye surgeon and my Neurologist.
The Eye surgeon said the Cyst would not cause my vision difficulties as it was not attached to nerves or muscle.
My Neurologist did not find the MRI supported MS as the cause but MS is the most likely cause. I did have blood work for MG which was negative but I was told the blood test for MG can be negative with Ocular MG. So, MG has not been ruled out at this time.
Both Ophthalmologists do not recommend prisms. There is only one muscle affected (Medial Rectus). Both are stumped as to "why" and the most current Ophthalmologist finds it "weird" and interesting and has never seen this type of presentation before
So, I continue to do the best I can, vision wise, and am thankful that it's not as bad as it was in the beginning. The temple pain is due to the eye (which was what I was thinking).
Anyway, that's my "interesting" story. Yes, I am frustrated but, it is what it is
