Eyes

I forgot the main reason I was posting today. My eyes have gone bad again. They are vibrating again and again and again. They seem to be stuck in the 3 second loop but before the 4th second is done, the cycle has already started again. They go off in groups so some times it is hours between problems, other times it if over and over and over for 15-30 mins. I can feel the pressure in my temples this time around.

Changing focus seems to be a problem for them. There are times when it will set off a new cascade. Every time I change the focus of my eyes, they will start shaking again. This means it happens when I look at one item and then look at another. Or I look at something two feet away then at something right next to it but at 4 feet away.

Usually this isn’t a problem when driving. A car doesn’t change much between being stable and being blurry around the edges. But with the vibration getting bad when I change focus, when I am looking to see if a car is coming, I can’t tell very well. I have trouble understanding new information into my head. I can still do it but it is harder. I can’t read an entire field of view in a glance like I am used to.

I doubt I will bother with doctors this time around. By the time an appointment could be set up to test me with their equipment, things will have changed and I probably won’t be able to make it happen.

Something I am noticing, when it has been gone for awhile and shows up again, it seems really really bad. I don’t know how much of that is me getting used to it and how much is it is much worse at the beginning and then mellows out. I am leaning for the latter theory. I start out feeling like I am not going to be able to cope with it long (not being able to see correctly, losing my balance, little brain storms in my head) and later it is a eh, just something to tolerate, no big deal, don’t really affect my life much.

It sure would be nice to know what is causing it. I believe it is some issue with the Vestibular nerve and the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Again, mine is special. My eyes vibrate at a 45 degree angle. The ones the doctors know of are at 0 and 90 degree angles. So again with the very annoying, undiagnosable, not quite normal health problem.
