Severe eye pain and visual disturbances

Aaron - that sounds horrible - I’m sorry you have had this and nothing has resolved it yet.

I haven’t had those symptoms - but I do hope the Babesia treatment works.

Would you mind sharing what your treatment is?


I recently had a symptom for a few days - sharp stabbing pain behind one of my eyes - and I’m wondering if it’s the “ice pic headache “ that could be attributed to Bartonella. It is intermittent - sounds different to what you’re experiencing.

I hope you get some relief soon.

i had terrible eye problems, all gone and my vision returned so now im not even using glasses. I see better with glasses that is for sure, but i no longer feel discomfort so i can use the computer without glasses which is awesome. all i can say is treatment (antibiotics) will help, and then time! I also used some anti inflammatory eye drops with Sodium Cromoglicate 2%. These helped a lot. But again, without abx my symptoms persisted and herbs DID NOT help

Bartonella also causes a lot of eye problems in humans and in cats. But you didn't mention anything else that sounded distinctly bart-like, so I'm guessing it is from babesia.

Kudzu root seemed to help my weird head symptoms, but I still have them.

It’s one of the few things I haven’t tried. I’ve saw people talk about it never have got to try it. I’m Praying fighting this babesia now will finally take care of it. It’s gotten so much worse I’m just lost for words it really is unreal. Lord what it would mean just to see a glimpse this pain and vision trouble is finally healing. I’m still having a few problems but it’s nothing compared to this. Did you also have visual disturbances like bad afterimages and flashing lights and things?

I had sharp pains in eyes, vision problems I mostly attributed to neurological impact, couldn't really read, and of sweet when I closed my eyes I could see `bugs/squiggly worms` moving through the veins/arteries of thin eye lid membrane. It was kinda freaky, like torture being forced to watch the vermin cursing through my body/brain. It could have been Bartonella/ Babesia and vision issues improved with treatment. Hope you see improvement soon with treatment.

I used to have severe eye problems. In fact, that's how it all started for me, almost a year before any other symptoms developped. I had a very stressful job at the time, staring at the computer screen for long hours. My eyes were very red, dry, watery looking, I had blurry vision, floaters, severe eye pain and headache behind eyes. I had to quit the job, it was pointless because I would sit at my desk and couldn't really see clearly, coming home with banging headache every day.
Things have improved for me (not by any means completely recovered, but much better) with first quitting the job, using drops for dry eyes, treatment for lyme and babesia. But, I still haven't tested for bartonella and I lately found out it can be a major culprit for this kind of problems. Did you test for bartonella at all?

I’m still on the rocephin iv for a little while longer but he put me back on zithromycin and malarone along with an anti viral medication hoping it would help with my eyes. I’ve not really experienced any herxing much just the terrible eye pain and visual disturbances getting worse. And the bad head pressure has started to come back with the feelings like I’m gonna pass out when standing that I used to get. I’ve had so many head scans and things I would Pray with everything in me there’s no way they could have missed anything. I’m also taking interface and crypto plus suppose to be taking artamisin but am currently out. I couldn’t find anyone having the severe eye pain and visual problems from babesia was hoping maybe someone would chime in and say they have experienced it. The worst things are by far the eye pain and terrible afterimages light spots from almost anything that linger for way too long always seeing dancing little white dots bursts of light of different color and much more. And of course the terrible floaters which I don’t hardly notice compared to the other things. I can never shut my eyes and just see dark like used to like a normal person should. I just don’t want this to get any worse just to see one sign of improvement would mean the absolute world to me.

Aaron,

I see you've posted on other forums and are still in agony. Also, I see you posted here about your treatment.

You said: "I’ve not really experienced any herxing much just the terrible eye pain and visual disturbances getting worse. And the bad head pressure has started to come back with the feelings like I’m gonna pass out when standing that I used to get."

That IS herxing.

Sounds like the babesia meds increased the head pressure (known babesia symptom). I suspect the meds are knocking down babesia and now bartonella is coming out stronger. I could be wrong, but from what I've read and experienced, bartonella causes more pain and a LOT of eye symptoms.

Sounds like you are herxing. Detoxing is absolutely necessary when treating these infections. Also, talk to your doctor about the worsening symptoms. Maybe you could decrease your doses or get on some type of pulsing regimen.

Bartonella will also need to be addressed at some point, in my opinion.

If you have mold exposure, get away from the mold. It will only compound your symptoms and add to pain and suffering.

Thank you for the reply. I have actually stopped all my treatment it only being a clinical diagnosis and things dramatically getting worse. The doctor I’m sure meant well and was trying to help me but at first he told me he had heard of everything going on. Then I noticed it was getting worse and he didn’t know anything to help. I don’t know if I’ve done the right thing or not I had a spinal tap and my spinal fluid came back negative for Lyme. Which I know you can’t depend on blood tests so I don’t know about the spinal fluid or not. Unless all the treatment I had been through has killed our Lyme itself. The eye pain and visual disturbances have gotten beyond more than I thought it ever could bad. What it would mean please Lord for one sign I am finally healing. I have been through so much and no one has been able to help. What does the eye wash do? I didn’t know if it helped with pain or the vision problems or both. I’d be willing to try anything at this point only God knows I am beyond desperate. Thank you for the reply. Also someone had mentioned neck problems could cause eye and vision trouble and oddly enough before all this started I would have spells where my neck would lock up and couldn’t hardly get out of bed or anything. I never thought to bring that up to the drs I never dreamed your neck could have to do with your eyes and vision. I don’t know maybe you guys or someone else would know. That’s by far my worst symptoms debilitating eye pain and visual disturbances that have grown dramatically worse and bad muscle twitches were your whole body or limb will actually move. I started going to the chiropractor and it still has gotten much worse in the last week or so. I just Pray from the bottom of my heart for a miracle I truly need one please Lord

I tested with igenix only one band was positive and one was ind. which really makes me wonder. Have suffered beyond words Lord please all I ever want is just a glimpse things are finally healing back to normal. Whatever this is has taken my life everyday is like living a nightmare. I haven’t had an mri of neck just xrays at a chiropractor. I mentioned it to my dr and she done more xrays today haven’t heard the results. It’s unreal a person to suffer like this without help. It pretty much started seemed like overnight. Before that all I had was a one sided dull headache and eye floaters. The severe pain set in and then visual disturbances and has just continued to get worse beyond imagination. What I would give just for my vision and eyes and health back to normal please Lord. I am beyond desperate

I think it was band 41 positive and 23 ind. on one and band 41 positive on the other. I can’t remember which was which I don’t know what I done with my test results
