Vision Problems

[Guest guest]

Dear Liz,

I Can't believe your dr. mentioned painless migraines. I told my first

(idiot) dr. who treated me for Lyme that I thought I was having those types of

migraines. He looked at me in utter disbelief while shaking his head. My

vision (blindness) gray areas, floaters, and sparks come about every month or

two. Usually lasts a few days. I mad because I finally have $ to get new

glasses, but my eyes are doing their Lyme thing. (I can't spell today either).

Love to all,

Debbie P.

It sounds a lot similar to what I have been experiencing lately, but

not sure about the connection with MTX or not... could be some... who

knows for sure? I am 44, have never really worn glasses until just

these past few weeks... since university I have had several pairs,

but all were very slight corrections and I never wore them... since

it is now my 5th attempt with MTX AND the longest time I have been on

it ... now being 2 1/2 months... my eyes have been much more blurry,

I am also blinking much more, and even was concerned enough to go to

the opthamologist several weeks ago... he said all was okay, just to

use some artifical tears when the eyes feel dry and then to check my

prescriptions... well, I did go to the optomologist and my right eye

has indeed become more blurry... all so suddenly, now I guess I have

to wear the glasses (after almost 25 years of just keeping them in a

drawer... because they didn't seem to be anything much stonger than

plain glass), I can really tell a difference with them on. But the

blurriness definitely occurred AFTER I began MTX... so, I am also

wondering if there could be a connection.... or if it is merely

coincidence....

I just went to the eye doctor for this. He suggested OTC artificial tears.

Now I just put them in first thing in the morning before I step in the

shower and rarely have to use them again. My eyes are great. KS Di

Sounds like " dry-eye " , a common problem in auto-immune diseases. Your

tear film became too thin and when you stare at something like the TV or

computer screen, things will get watery and blurry. Get a tear

replacement NOT a contact lens rewetting drop or anything with a

decongestant in it. If this doesn't solve the problem almost

immediately, see your Optometrist, don't wait for the Rheumy. It's

probably nothing but it's out of the Rheumy's realm.

- I would assume she meant opthamologist? An opthamologist is an M.D.

while an optomatrist is not. I didn't experience black dots like you said,

but MTX can cause vision changes. Speaking of changes...maybe you are ready

for one with your rheumy?? Doesn't sound like she's real helpful.

Good luck,

---------------------

PatB moderator note: It is vittaly important that all of us see a eye doctor

routinely. The meds we take can cause dryness of the mouth/eyes and can develop

into sjogren's syndrome. Another thing that the medical eye doctor will keep

track of is the pressures of the eyes. With the pain and the arthritis the eye

pressures can swing up and down which is worse than a steady rise. Luckily there

are new eye drops out on the market so simply using a drop in each eye at

bedtime will help lower the eye pressures.

[Guest guest]

I would hurry to get your eyes checked out. Two friends experienced

something like you are describing and had detached retinas requiring surgery.

Don't want to scare you, but your sight is nothing to fool around with. I

am blind in one eye and there are a lot of problems associated with that.

Take care.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Those little black dots you're experiencing could be what's called " floaters " .

They could be a symptom of something very serious. You do need to see an

opthamologist without delay.

I am so behind in my messages so if someone has written and I haven't

responded please be patient - i will get to it. For the past couple of weeks I

have been having many tiny translucent black dots in my vision. Mostly up at

top but they can move across too. It kinda comes and goes and seems to be worst

when it is bright out (mainly sunshine). I need to go to the optomotrist to get

more contacts but it's a scheduling/money issue. It isn't my contacts b/c it is

the same with my glasses. Has anyone experienced anything similar? When I saw

my rheumy yesterday and mentioned it to her she said, " what else . " She

can be so abrasive at times. If she doesn't believe me then why does she

continue to treat me. She was quite perturbed by my work situation before and

repeated that I need to find part time work. Easier said than done. I just

hope she gets my FMLA paperwork filled out by my Friday dea! dline otherwise I

will be out of a job. Anyway she told me to see an opthlamatrist (sp?). Just

wondering if anyone experienced anything similar. Oh, and I will be taking my

dog to obedience class next Sat. Hubby was just tired. Glad that is one less

thing I have to worry about. I really hope this trainer is good because she

will give them plenty of work!

I have some info on the spots you are seeing. I have experienced them and also

I worked for an optometrist for a while. They are probably just " floaters " .

The fluid in the eye sometimes develops hardened or thickened drops. If you

think about it, that is exactly what they look like--a drop of something

floating around. They usually come more with age, but they are harmless.

However, I am a real believer in seeing your eye doc regularly. I saw some

scarey stuff in that office, especially in contact lense wearers who didn't

follow the drs. advice on cleaning, over-wearing, etc. A good optometrist will

check the health of your eyes as well as you vision. An ophthamologist is a

medical dr. who has specialized in the eye. They have more training than an

optometrist in diseases and injuries but usually an optometrist is enough.

Don't take chances on your eyesight. Some of our meds can affect your eyes

also. Your rhuemy should have told you that. What a heifer!

Hi ,

Toadessa7 and the others are right. You should get checked out by an

opthamologist. If the only symptoms you are having now are new floaters,

it is probably not a retinal detachment.

A retinal detachment is a medical emergency and if you suddenly experience

any significant change in vision such as loss of some peripheral vision in

one eye, call the doctor immediately or go to the emergency room at night

and they will call the opthamologist on duty. The sooner they fix it the

better and if it is minor it can be fixed fairly easily with a laser.

The doctor's office told me that some tests you can perform on yourself are

to look at something and cover each eye in succession. If it looks

significantly different with either eye, come in immediately. Also, you

can check peripheral vision by sticking up the thumbs of both hands and

extend your arms together directly in front of you, then move each of them

to the side as far as your peripheral vision allows. If there is much

difference between the sides, come in immediately.

I just had a scare regarding this and have been diagnosed with a vitreous

detachment. It began suddenly the other day as I was walking to a meeting

at work about 1:00 pm. I suddenly started seeing flashes at the periphery

of my right eye when I'd look to the right. Then came some mild blurring

to the right and some new, fairly significant floaters. My eyes are still

not normal, but no retinal detachment. Apparently what happens in this

situation is that the vitreous humor inside of the eye turns more liquid

with age and sometimes pulls away from the back of the eye. According to

the doc, about 95% of the time it does not cause retinal detachment. I

saw the doctor at 4:00 pm and he said that if I did have a retinal

detachment then they would fix it that night or the next morning. I go

back to get checked again again in 3 weeks. A friend who also had a

similar occurrance about 6 months ago said that his problems have gradually

lessened. I sure hope mine will too, as the large floaters and mild,

transient blurring are annoying. It seems like I have less flashing now,

as well.

Good luck. You are most likely fine, but should definitely see a doctor to

make sure. Also, be sure and tell the doc about all medications you might

be currently taking.

Best Wishes...

My vision problems are what finally got the ball rolling to my being

diagnosed with PA. I had a bazillion (seemed like) little black

things floating around--looked like a swarm of gnats in front of me--

and flashes of light occassionally off to the side of my eye. I

quickly lost vision in the one eye and the eye got like mushy (best

way to describe it). Was sent to a specialist who put me on steriod-

type eye drops that I had to put in every hour for several days, then

slowly decreased the dosage but it would flare up again. This went on

for a year!! He finally sent me to the arthritis clinic and after

blood tests for lupus (negative thank God) he diagnosed me with PA.

AFter taking Methotrexate and another anti-inflammatory for a month,

the vision problems went away and I DON'T WANT THEM TO COME BACK.

I've had my eyes dialated and tested enough for one lifetime. The

floaters went away and only occassionally can I see faded traces of

them and only outdoors against a light background. That was almost 5

years ago and I'm still taking the MTX and an anti-inflammatory. In

my case, I believe it was the PA that triggered the eyes to flare up

and the MTX in combo with anti-inflammatories is what has helped keep

the problem from returning as well as greatly helping the symptoms

that the PA causes. Like alot of others I've been reading about in

these messages, we're all finding the best way for ourselves to live

productive lives and treat whatever symptoms come up.

I'm glad I got to read your messages about the vision problems, I

hadn't heard anyone else talk about the vision problems being

associated with the PA. I thought in my case it was a fluke--just one

more thing on the list of " hey doc I've got this happening to me

now... " kind of things. After reading more of these messages, I don't

feel like I'm alone with this PA struggle anymore. Sorry to hear

others having to go through it, but glad there's somewhere to go

where others understand my situation!!

Best of luck to you

Good question :The plagio & assymetries could definitely play a role in his vision concerns. Definitely get a referral for an opthamologist. Many group members have taken their baby in to be safe. Maybe you could ask CT about it too tomorrow?

The only thing I do know is that they are now using a new test, called a Visual

contrast sensitivity test to test for Lymes. I was diagnosed based on this test,

and it is supposed to be very accurate. I couldnt see certain things with

contrast. Cant even describe it. Here is a web site my doctor sent me to:

[ ] Vision Problems

Hi,

I am asking for some help identifying a visual irregularity that I am

experiencing. When I look at a high contrast background, such as a

bright blue sky, I am seeing small `sperm like' objects in my vision.

They vary in number from under a hundred to many hundreds, their

number correlating with the severity of my Chronic Fatigue Symptoms.

They dart around, change direction, and their velocity is

synchronized with my heart beat (i.e. they surge forward in pulses).

I have thus far been unable to tell if they follow repeating paths,

which might indicate flow through fixed structures.

I have been able to find out very little about this phenomenon, with

only a few references on the web, and these are only anecdotal with

no analysis or discussion of causes. I am thinking that they might be

viral, bacterial or fungal particles in my blood, but I'm not sure

how to confirm or refute this supposition. I am, however, quite

certain that they are not traditional `floaters'.

For the record, I have tested positive for `Stealth Virus', CMV, EBV,

Rickettsia, and staphylococci in nasal swabs. I am very interested in

finding out what this visual anomaly is. If anyone has any thoughts

or information, I would greatly appreciate a response. Please send

replies to adelaideboi@... .

Thanks for your help,

[Guest guest]

,

We had an appointment with an opthamologist right at the beginning of

's treatment upon the advice of our neuro. He told us that vision

problems are common with plagio and it was always a good idea to have that

checked out. So we did and everything turned out fine.

Penny---- With all respect, I'm not sure that the VCS test is a test for

Lyme in the strictest sense. (:>)

Dr. Shoemaker uses that test partly to help in determining the neurotoxins

in a persons body, which may be there because of Lyme or for other reasons.

But, you're right----- treatment with Questran (cholestyramine) or Welchol

is often done by people with Lyme. Some feel it helped them a lot and others

feel it did nothing---- just like everything else in the Lyme world. <g>

Gee Dan,

I would get myself to a Lyme Literate Ophthalmologist......sooner than

later.

At first your description sounded like floaters..........(I have tons,

most left behind by pervious inflammations (uveitis). They don't go

away.

But when you started to talk about them shooting around and in sync

with your heart beating.........that sounded a little strange. I

would get to someone who understands Lyme and the EYE!

When our bodies & minds are out of balance...........we suffer!

[Guest guest]

The VCS test does not test for Lyme as such, it tests for a particular

toxin in the body, which may be produced by any number of pathogenic

organisms. I have had this test done, and despite all the pathogens

that I tested positive for, I passed the VCS vith flying colours!

Jessie, both my reading and distance glasses have prisms. So in my case, the

distance presciption itself helps minimize the effort the eye muscles make in

focusing, and therefore to focus for longer without getting blurred vision, even

though the prescription is one that leaves me not seeing as well to begin with.

I'm not sure if that helps anyone with my description. I don't know how the

prescription (or in my case, the two presciptions for reading and distance)

allows the eye muscles to work less hard even while I see less well (at least

with the distance glasses), but that's the idea and it works for me as the

doctor expected. Not that the problem disappeared. But I can focus longer now

both at distance and reading, if not as well. I had separate prescriptions

before, too -- without prisms and designed, like most people's I believe, to

maximize visual acuity.

My prescription is for reading glasses that I will wear over my

contacts. They have a prism that will help improve my focus.

and yes, taking away the distance vision helps relax your eyes

muscles when doing near work, I guess that's the idea.

Hi Fatima,

Dr. Brown prescribed only 100-200mg on Monday Wednesday and Friday for

his patients. After checking with his doctor about the vision problems,

I would reduce your husband's dose and see if he feels better.

Amy,

What you describe as the zig-zag lines sounds like what I used to get

before a migraine. Although it would only be one eye and also no

pain...until the actual headache. Since I changed my nutrition, I have

been migraine free for 5 years plus.

There are some types of CMT that present optic neuropathy.

I get something like your jagged line when I get hypoglycemic. Usually a PBJ

(peanut butter and jelly) and a nap make it go away. Usually I can tell when it

is about to hit as the world seems to feel distant or hollow and I become aware

of my vision. Something sugary will usually reverse it quickly, but it comes

back unless get rest and better food.

Ed

[Guest guest]

Amy,

I have CMT and Diabetes. I also just recently started getting the zig zag lines

in my eyes. I mostly see it when my eyes are shut. I've had my eyes checked

before the zig zag lines started and they blame my poor eyesight on diabetes.

I'm looking for some kind of advice on vitamins, eye drops, etc. for this.

Debbie from Mo

[Guest guest]

Wow Gretchen, that pretty much explains my zig zags. I've been having more

headaches lately and waking up with headaches every morning till I get up and

moving around. Now if I can just find the right nutrition, maybe I can get to

feeling better.

I also have the " Zig- Zag " come and go in my eyes. Usually it happens when I sit

Vision Problems

Do any of you have problems with vision? If so, is it associated with

CMT?

I have just started having a zig-zag line that runs up my vision over

and over again. It will go away, but it returns. It is not painful,

but it interferes with my vision. It is happening in both eyes.

My husband mentioned MS. Are there people with both MS and CMT?

Thanks,

Amy

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

I was diagnosed with MS for about eight years, only to later find out

that I had CMT all along. The neurologist told me the odds would be

astronomical to have both. I never thought I had MS and it all makes

sense now that I have CMT. So many of my earliest symptoms mimicked MS but I

have no doubt that I have CMT now. I do have weird eye symptoms, though, so it

was nice to know from Gretchen that CMT can cause eye problems occasionally. I

see weird colors every once in a while and rarely, I have double vision.

My neighbour had something similar - like floating cells - and he says this was

from years of sun damage from sailing. I have it too - and I had years of being

in the water no shades when I was young. Apparently they can fix that condition

with surgery. I am not there yet.
