Thanks for writing, it is always a relief to meet

someone with the same sx. You'll have to excuse me as

I have the most horrendous brain fog atm.

>90% better

Interesting. I have yeast overgrowth in my gut and

likely systemic, maybe there are critters in my brain

right now! I took an acne drug called Roaccutane that

I think allowed yeast to go systemic, recently I have

read that it changes blood sugar levels, in addition

to shrinking thymus by 40% and compromising mucous

membranes. Biocidin by Bio Botanicals caused the

shimmering to flare up and then a couple of hours

later my vision had improved but this was only

temporary. This would indicate some sort of toxin

flush. I think maybe inflammation is the mechanism

causing shimmering.

>Have you found anything that helps????

Avoiding glycemic foods, food intolerances, chemicals

helps with this. Try aspirin I think this helped one

time but i can't tolerate long term. Otherwise no,

see my post to Cheryl above for other ideas (licorice

or piracetam). I do feel that this is something that

would improve if I could kick the yeast. I haven't

tried systemic drugs yet (on my list) but I have a

feeling that I need to revive my immune system before

the yeast will leave me alone. Some people find that

tinted lenses help with vision.

I can't think of anything else write now.

Have you had an EEG? And those with any strange visual problems might

consider an opthmalogist, or even a neuro-opthamalogist, and a neurologist

if need be. These are things needing to be addressed by a doctor! Christie

Hi Christie,

I have had my eyes checked many times, dialted and checked thouroghly. Whatever

is causing this

must be in the brain. I've also had a cat scan of my brain, it was normal. I am

diabetic also, so

the doctors are really careful about my eye exams. Dixie

A neuro-opthamologist is(there might be another name for the -- the MD type)

would most likely be the best.

Hi,

Sounds like you have things under control! Perhaps it has to do with the

diabetes then... Chrisite

[Guest guest]

I've had diabetes for less than 4 years. I had the visual stuff for close to 20

years and FMS for

14 years. I think the eye problems are related to FMS because I had other

strange things going on a

few years before FMS became chronic. I was going numb on the right side, getting

ill for 6-8 weeks

at a time, having attacks of terrible fatigue. All this stuff would come and go.

Had gall bladder

x-rays, cat scan of head, test for mono, test for low thyroid. All were

negative. Then I took a job

in a wharehouse, 10-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. Hard work. Caught every bug

going around, had

bronchitis, ect. repeatedly. After 4 months of long hours and being almost

constantly sick is when

I got FMS. I think I became so worn down " it " had a chance to attack and become

permanent. I kept

on working at the job for another 14 months, but it was hell. Eventually I hurt

my back really bad

and was not released by the doctor to go back there, but I was not able to

handle it anymore

anyway.
