Hi everyone who might remember me!
I started posting here a year ago after I started to have a bunch of weird symptoms...
Went to different doctors and then a few times to my family-doc, who all thought that my symptoms (eye-pain when touching, visual 'disturbances'/black dots in vision, increased sensitivity in skin, headaches, nausea blabla...Tons of stuff) were caused by panic-attack/anxiety/hyperventilation.
After the eye-problems started, I went to an eyedoc who only found that my eyes were dry.
About the black dot, she thought it could be a floater. Never explained me HOW a floater could NOT float. (because the black,small, dot I see doesn't float when I move my eyes around. It's always in the middle of my vision sometimes accompanied by a few other black dots and comes and goes as I blink) The eye-pain continued and she told me, that if it does continue, I should talk with my family-doc. I did. After many months of waiting, in december last yr, I went to see my family-doc again. Also at the time I was experiencing nausea, wich lasted for 3 weeks until it stopped. She decided to send me to a neurologist, FINALLY. (after doing some auto-immune tests on me that were all negative)
Last month I then went to a neurologist, who told me she had 26 yrs of experience and she only did 2 tests. 2 TESTS. ONLY. Oh, took my blood-pressure too. Wow. :D
I never, ever mentioned her about my fear of MS (wich most of us have.), but after trying my reflexes (one from my arm and the other one from the bottom of my leg), she said; "You definitely don't have MS." Ok. Good. Then when trying to explain my symptoms she would immediately go; "IT'S NORMAL, PART OF IT. BLABLA." Because she diagnosed me with tension neck. Wich is basicly like giving the diagnose of 'depression' at a doctors office. So it's a very common diagnose.
I know I sound like Im unhappy, I am and am not, but I can't help but wonder. I also made the mistake of reading some neurology websites to see if there were others experiencing my symptoms and some of them were sayng, that seeing dots in vision is a sign of brain-tumor/MS. Someone with MS, in another thread had, had those black dots I see once in a while...She went to a neurologist and neuro, didn't find anything (from the reflexes). Now she has MS. So you probably can guess where Im going with this...
Im once again, in the beginning basicly. Been to a neurologist, told me I didn't have MS, did 2 reflex-tests and explained me stuff about the symptoms Im experiencing that not even another doctor would understand and such.
I was happy for a few weeks after going to the neurologist...Until I started to wonder, should I have taken that MRI? She offered me it, but after the reflexes she told me that the MRI was not needed anymore. (especially because it costs so much money) But what about brain-tumor? She didn't even take that as a possibility, considering I have nausea, eye-pain and am seeing black dots in my eyes (both, once in a while, but mostly in one.)...
So. That's it. For now. Thought and would come here and just say how everything is right now...
I have nausea as a symptom for the moment. I got rid of it till christmas and now a few days ago it returned. Grrreat! Also having some headaches. (the last time I was having headaches aswell, hmm) Her explanation to that was a little different...Apparently doesn't have to do with tension neck, but rather that it could have been a symptom of some flu/virus or something.
So, I have the flu again? :DDDD Seriously? I mean, how can anyone take these people seriously?
Is anyone else here experiencing these black (NOT MOVING) dots in the vision?
Any ideas what it could be?
