Hello Lymies,

A brand new weird symptom has popped up for me this morning.

There's static in my right eye (top right corner of my vision).

It looks exactly like when there's a crack on a tv or phone screen and it makes those rainbow static colors.

And as I'm typing this it's finally fading away. But it took about good hour to fade away.

It's freaky and weird.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone one know why this happens with lyme? Just trying to figure out what I can do to prevent it in the future.

Thanks.

I am a photographer so my eyes are pretty darn important. So if this happened to me, I would get to my eye doctor and have an exam. I got blurry eyes and lots of floaters with lyme. Teary eyed and always bloodshot. I went for an exam and all was well.

Better to error on the side of caution!

Searching this forum I found other lymies that mentioned this. They describe it exactly the same. That why I'm confident it's lyme.

Coincidently, I'm at the eye doctor right now for my annual check up. I'll inquire about it.

i know that the eyes can do weird things at times with Lyme and/or these co-infections. I'm not due for an eye exam until next year, however if it's something that became worrisome I would definitely make an appointment.

I had weird vision issues during my early days of Lyme treatment.

There was one time when I was reading that I was suddenly unable to read all the letters. It seemed like I was reading through pegboard. Then, my vision distorted into wavy lines of the images before me.

The pegboard vision was a one-time deal. However, the distortion of my my sight into wavy lines happened several times.

These instances lasted maybe 15-20 minutes.

My ophthalmologist dx'd me with ocular migraines without the headache. Thankfully, my eyes remained healthy.

Forgot to mention...

I think the optic nerve went wacky ala the inflammation Lyme can cause.

That's my guess on the cause.

Stephania Tetranda is quite helpful for vision issues....I learned that after the fact, of course ;)

Yes CD,

My doc, said it was occular migraines (no headache involved). He said it's common for it to come and go in about 20 mins. And that's about right. Started fading after half hour.

Now I don't doubt it was an occular migraine but once again doctors don't really care what causes symptoms. I know it's from lyme, but at least I have the piece of mind to have a name to the symptom (for whatever that is worth).

Two other angles ...lyme attacks the pancreas and my blood sugar would get wonky...after i triggered lyme i would get these static episodes .lose peripheral vision and feel really faint ...i would eat lil honey or fruit and they would go away about 30 mins...they were happening frequently...a alt doc suggested spirulina to build protien in liver so hypoglycymia would go away..

other angle it is the eye nerve ...all my nerves are effefted as proven by the twitch it srarted with eye twitch too..however when i did a very special test they found toxoplasmosis which loves the eyes...many people have it and rhey wont treat but when lyme and bart reck our immune sx i think its like hey free for all. (Labcorp missed it) mangosteen is supposeda help rebuild ...rna has drops and nurse recommended compounded drips with glutithione from denver for cataracts ...i am going to try some bee venom drops as ibhave this cyst on white part ...opthamalogist was no help..i also have cmv and that is known to mess with eyes too.scary stuff. When i thoughtni was gunna go blind and have a heart attack last year i wrote my will
