Visual Disturbances, DIZZY, + More

Hi all, new here. Posted over on MS board and it was suggested I post over here and see if I have any luck. I have been unwell the last 8 years, gradually becoming more sick over the last 2. I have become almost bed bound because my symptoms are very dibilitating. I have had a whole host of tests from doctors and nothing is ever found. My symptoms are many but the most troublesome are : extreme dizziness/lighthead (can no longer drive, lying flat no longer relieves), extreme brain fog (can't think, process), neck tightness/pain, benign pvcs, numb lips, legs (from knee to ankle), tingling fingers and toes, ortho static issues, low blood pressure, anxiety attacks (from symptoms), strange mental sensations hard to describe, and lots of visual problems. I have to have my family drive me places now as I'm WAY too dizzy to drive. It is hard to go into stores-the aisles and the lights make me feel worse.
I'm attaching picture I made to show what I'm experiencing visually. I see tons of electric blue or silver dots throughout the day. They look as bright as the christmas lights in the photo but can be blue or silver. Happens at any time: sitting, standing, eyes closed, dark, light, indoors, outside, etc. Does anyone else see these dots with this much frequency? Like I've said, have had heart tests, MRI (no contrSt), blood work, eye tests, etc....all negative. I feel like I'm slowly dying. Maybe this unusual symptom could help with diagnosis.? Someone out there has to have experienced this also. Dr's don't know what's going on or don't believe me. I'm not anxious or depressed, I know there's something not right going on in my body-I don't know what it is. Thanks for listening and for your help in advance. VIEW IMAGE

Hi sickgirl87, I am sorry to hear of your symptoms. Unfortunately what you have described is often symptomatic of Lyme. I am glad to have you here because the people in this forum are very knowledgeable and will always be here to help you out.

The bright lights that you described and posted in the photo are commonly referred to as "flashers". These can be seen whether you have your eyes open or closed. Some people here experience them when they have headaches and others occasionally throughout the day. Flashers are just one of many abnormalities/symptoms that occur with an infection by Lyme, Bartonella, etc and usually resolve as the infection is cleared.

As Traveler suggested, the post that she referred you to has tons of valuable information that should help you out figuring out what is going on inside your body.

As far as doctors not finding anything conclusive or even believing you- yes, that happens to us Lymies a lot so don't get discouraged. If you need to find a doctor that is Lyme literate post a new message with the subject heading "need LLMD in name of city/state" and someone here will email you some contact names.

Good luck in resolving your illness and hopefully you will feel better soon.
