Eye floater and flash explanation.....interesting

Thanks Astro for this helpful resource. This subject is totally in my wheelhouse. My vision is completely jacked up. My issues are due to a constellation of age, genes and maybe infection. It’s weird, Lyme patients without the structural damage that I have, report the same annoying visual disturbances that I have. Bart is known to like synovial fluid as well as vitreous humor. Perhaps it is my optimism at play which leads me to hope that continued treatment for Bart will ameliorate these symptoms.

Sorry about the flashes in your vision. It is not fun. I literally could run a great nightclub with all the self generated special effects going on in my field of vision. LOL.

That’s the question we all face. And we will question things like this for the rest of our lives. I don’t think it was though because I have not had any other lyme type symptoms noticeably emerging. Time will tell.

One thing too we get way over sensitive towards odd little things happening to our bodies that the average person will just completely blow off.

Back in around 2008 when I woke up 80% blind that was a complete different deal , I asked an eye doctor about that she didn’t doubt anything but just said that that would’ve been interference with the main optical nerve since both eyes were affected. It completely resolved itself in 2 to 3 days. It was pretty scary when the noon sun look like the midnight moon.

And that went completely away by late afternoon and did not come back today at all so far.

That said every human being alive has some sort of pathogen in them that shouldn’t be there. It’s my belief that it’s not what you have it’s how much of it you have that makes the difference.

Anyone that thinks they’re gonna rid them selves of tick infections completely is joking themselves.

Candida is no different , we all have it, Some internally, some externally some both,it’s only a problem when there’s overgrowth. I have had what appeared to be candida issues on my eyelids at one time. As you might guess there were no doctors that knew what to do, but I fixed it in time. When you take a bunch of anti-candida supplements and weird skin issues clear up, you know what it was.

Yes I agree that pathogen load is a significant variable. In your case, you have unburdened your immune system to the point it can function more normally. This is good.

I haven’t had the flashes.

But I’ve had floaters that I could only see when my eyes are closed.

Magoo2, interesting you mention immune boosting supplements. There is some literature which states people with autoimmune conditions should avoid them. I believe some are considered safe while others are not. I have been trying to figure out if Rhodelia Rosa is safe.too much conflicting info out there.

Immune system certainly can be a balancing act especially with those who have autoimmune conditions and or immunodeficiencies. Lucky for me ,...I have both, But they don’t seem to be doing much harm that I can notice right now.
Eyes are still good today.

Flashes can be retinal tears , you should get checked by a retina specialist. I have had retinal tears! I take bromelain to reduce my floaters it works well.

Well it’s been five days so time for an update, luckily These weird little flashes have not returned.

As far as brain or head injuries, my head hit the ground many times in my younger years , with a helmet of course...(.and a few times without now that I remember). : (

" Pineapple for Eye Floaters: Sweet Deal or Pipe Dream?
As we age, floaters start to drift in front of our eyes. Can pineapples chew on this prickly problem?"

https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health-and-nutrition/pineapple-eye-floaters-sweet-deal-or-pipe-dream :

[....".....Shadow puppetry can be beautiful to look at, but when it’s happening inside our eyeballs, it’s an annoyance. One of the banes of getting older is the appearance of apparitions in our vision. In Latin, they are known as muscae volitantes. In French, they translate as flying flies. We know them in English as floaters..................You may be familiar with them. These translucent shapes drift in front of our eyes like they are sliding on a slick puddle of oil. They are worm-like threads or spots or bits of cobweb, slowly sliding up and down, left and right, marring a once crystalline vision with ever-moving debris....

......Floaters suck........It would be wonderful if they could be eliminated simply by eating more pineapple......This is the rather juicy claim made in a video boldly titled “Eye Floaters No More!” that has garnered 1.7 million views on YouTube. The video itself contains a number of caveats, but you wouldn’t know it from the clickbaity title."..]

This is very interesting about pathogen load.
When my Lyme resurfaced after living in a high mold environment, I was having yellow eyes floaters that were so thick, it was getting dangerous to drive.

I still have regular floaters, but I notice when ever I do a treatment like ozone IVs, they will greatly reduce. Bonus: my eyesight will significantly improve, following the treatment.
