Scotoma #2 (blind spots)
by Tim1, Dec 14, 2007 02:52PM
This entry is directed at those of you with scotoma, or blind spots (not so much for the doctors).
I am 27 and I have been getting small scotoma since I was 24. I get about one new permanent blind spot per week. I also get many temporary blinds spots per day which usually last only about 10 seconds. The permanent spots start off as colored (usually orange or blue) spots and fade to a blind spot in a few days. They vary in size and shape but they are roughly the size of my thumbnail at arms length.
I have seen many opthamologists, neurologists, neuro-opthamlogist and have had many tests done. Everything comes back normal.
If you are experiencing a similar problem please email me at: ttaves (at) hotmail (dot) com
P.S. There are atleast two other people in this world with a very similar problem (but I can't contact them). Check out: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/EyeCare/messages/1197.html
