Loss of focus

[everythingsjustwonderful]

Alright, so about 2 months ago, I decided I wanted to re-pierce me already pierced nose hole that had close itself a few weeks back. I had done it about twice before and but this time, the second I put the stud through the hole, the right side (where the hole is) bottom of my face went numb and I started to see green spots and had to lay down. Since then, I have been having almost daily headaches and dizzyness. I went to see the doctor about it a month ago and she concluded it was simple migraines. Saying there was no link between the headaches and piercing incidents. Before I had gone to see the doctor, I had noticed maybe once or twice a loss of focus but thought nothing of it. A few days after my visit to the doctor, I had the biggest headache I had ever gotten yet. After that, I have since had daily loss of focus in my eyes. It has been constant, I never feel like I am fully focused. Sometimes my eyes, burn, so I thought it was dryness of eyes. But I've been using eye drops and nothing has changed. The headaches are now a lot less frequent, but my eyes are never focused anymore and I feel very weak and always tired. However, even though I feel weak all the time, I got a job at a warehouse a week ago, which requires much heavy lifting and I have no problem doing the job. I don't really understand. Also sometimes I feel numbness in my hands, and I have a hard time focusing on what I'touching, hearing or smelling.

I would start by ending your body piercing career. Since you have a personal physician I would return for a reevaluation and ask for a referral to an ophthalmologist.
