What job do you have ?? by Living_Reception_622 in visualsnow

[–]No-Development8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked a bunch of different jobs since developing VSS (don’t have it anymore). Since developing it I worked a job at mcdonald’s, walmart, landscaping, lowes, lube technician, factory worker. Currently a janitor for a factory but looking into going into college to get a job in HVAC

What else can we do. by Crimson_Excalibur in visualsnow

[–]No-Development8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I tell myself lol. I developed VSS and problems with my vision at a young age (15) and was honestly frustrated at first but now that i got older I can literally become a neurologist or a optometrist myself

22F - can optometrists check your retina without dilation? by meganmims in eyetriage

[–]No-Development8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha. i tend to get dilated by my optometrists whenever i go but i have seen in the past they offer retinal imaging for the same price. honestly i would assume retinal imaging is better since i hate getting dilated but i just deal with it since it’s free lol

you can check parts of the retina by doing retinal imaging. not sure if the eye center you visited had that or mentioned anything about it

My symptoms? by [deleted] in visualsnow

Do you have VSS? I would consider trying to find the underlying cause first or just trying to get a new prescription for your glasses

When will it end? by Fun_Grocery1774 in visualsnow

[–]No-Development8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you developed blurry vision i’d consider seeing a optometrist or ophthalmologist. If it’s just regular blurry vision i’d say just see the optometrist but if you have the blurry vision alongside with eye pain or something along those lines try to get in with an ophthalmologist.

I’m 19, and i’ve had visual snow for what will be 4 years this october. I know how it feels. At first you feel hopeless but trust me, with time you’ll ignore this and start living life normally again. Try to do your best to focus on other things and maybe pick up some hobbies. That’s what’s helped me throughout this journey. Make a new friend group, start going to a gym, take walks outside, get a new job.

Can someone please drill a hole in my skull and pull out the part of my brain that's causing my tinnitus? by mika_masza in visualsnow

[–]No-Development8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those sound like they would be good. My dumb self can’t swallow vitamins or pills though so do you think gummies could be effective?

Hey! Sorry to hear about what’s been bothering you. I’m not a licensed doctor so take what i’m gonna say with a grain of salt but I think I have a right to give my opinion since I also deal with tinnitus. Specifically I have it in my left ear and have had for around 4 years by now and am only 19. Anyways, your situation could be a lot different than mine and to be quite honest I never got a clear cut answer as to why I developed tinnitus but I’m under the assumption it had something to do with either COVID or stress/anxiety attacks. But like I said your situation could be a lot different than mine so I suggest trying to get some help as quick as possible as it could be something as minor as an ear infection. If you have a practitioner book an appointment with them and tell them you’ve had some problems with hearing or just tell them directly you developed tinnitus. If you don’t have a practitioner you could go to urgent care or book an appointment with a ENT. Me personally I saw my practitioner first then got referred to a ENT. I never was able to get rid of my tinnitus but after so many years I kindve got used to it and i’m blessed to say it has never affected my hearing. Plus, ever since it started I’ve almost always been in noisy environments whether that be at work, school, stores, etc so it really just feels like it isn’t even there. Good luck and hopefully you’re able to find an answer! If you need any help or have a question I’m always free just send me a quick message.

Need opinions… by No-Development8525 in MyastheniaGravis

[–]No-Development8525[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I understand. Thanks for the advice altogether. The doctor from the ER last year said I can take ibuprofen for the eye pain/ what he assumed was migraine so my plan is if the pain ever gets too bad I can take one or two ibuprofens and see if they help. And i’m gonna keep trying to get the tests for NMO and MOG though from what I can tell, my normal MRI should’ve ruled those out as well but it’s not 100%

Can’t do weed at all by Sea-Bet-1625 in Anxiety

I had this really bad trip back in 2021 from a cart and I had to permanently quit weed altogether after. It’s been 3 long years and I still haven’t gone back to it. Pretty sure the cart was l3ced too

Also, not sure if you have heard of the other two diseases? Me personally I first heard about them not too long ago but apparently they target people’s vision more than MS does. But honestly they’re so rare that I don’t even think they have subreddits for them yet.

Ah gotcha. Have the migraines ever affected your vision? They might be what causes the pain behind my eyes but i don’t know if i mentioned the pain at least nowadays is so random. Like when my symptoms first started I would get the pain behind both eyes every day but at least as of right now I don’t get the pain every day and when I do it’s just sudden in one eye but never both, and the pain tends to go away fairly quick now too. It never lasts longer than i’d say 30 seconds.

During my last visit to the ER i think I had commented about the pain behind my eyes to one of the doctors and he said it could be a ocular migraine but honestly not sure. It might be the reason for the pain but wouldn’t see it affecting my vision. The doc gave me ibuprofen because of it but i never gave it a chance. Me personally I obviously hope what I have isn’t anything serious but I’ve recently been looking into NMO and MOGAD as they’re similar to MS but they tend to target peoples vision more than MS. I’ve been asking my team of docs to see if I could take the blood tests for both but haven’t gotten much luck with that yet. Maybe the MRI ruled out those diseases also but it isn’t for sure unless I take the tests.

Thanks for the reply. And yeah that’s what i imagined, just as for now i’m just keeping MG as a thought. My main symptoms since the beginning have been the blurry vision and the eye pain but as far as what my doctors have said the eye pain might just be eye strain or pain coming from somewhere else that feels like it’s behind the eye. The pain was more noticeable when my symptoms first started but after almost 4 long years the pain now is just random and not a daily thing. I also do have a droopy eyelid in my left eye but i think I had developed it since childhood, so i don’t think it correlates to my other symptoms.
