In my latest video I talk about it and introduce Kira to you; my personificat...

Rehab for double vision?

Most of my double vision subsided a couple of weeks after taking steroids (end of August - 2 months after it initially started), but my eyes still feel slow, and when I open my eyes first thing in the morning, I get double vision for a second. My neuro told me to wear an eye patch and alternate it e...

Double vision

My first symptom was double vision, starting late June this year. The ophthalmologist dismissed me, said it would go away on its own, but one month later my vision was worse so she asked for a brain MRI. So I had to wait 6 weeks from symptom onset till my 3 day course of IV methylprednisolone and pr...

Blurry/double vision and CBD oil

Hi, I’ve had RRMS for over 30 years, and was taking CBD oil for spasms but slowly stopped and now they are fewer and far less severe. In the last few month’s my eyes have become worse, more blurry/double vision and I was thinking that maybe the CBD oil was actually helping my eyes? Has anyone had an...

Doublevision duration

What is the longest period of time anyone has had doublevision, before it has corrected itself? I have had it for almost two years now with no let up, so think it may signal permanent nerve damage.

It’s also prominent if I sort of relax my eyes (I’m not sure if this is technically what I’m doing but idk how else to describe it) this is especially noticea...

I am having double vision . Booked in to an experienced optician next week. I have read in various formats that certain specific lenses can help with double vision. I mainly get this at night and when I am tired. Does anyone have any suggestions , I would be very grateful.

Anyone get diagnosed years after being told it’s not MS?

To begin, I had a craniotomy in 2014 to remove a benign brain tumor from the left frontal lobe that was causing vision loss, the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and many other issues. Since 2020, I’ve noticed random nerve pain in other places on my body outside of my head. Random hot spots that feel ...
