Right pupil always more dialted than left, sometimes severe and blurry, dim vision left eye. Please help me i have no insurance.

I was told by someone who had a cancerous tumor on their cerebellum that they had these exact same symptoms.  I had a Cat Scan done at the ER [without contrast] but they said it was normal.  Has anyone else experienced these symptoms ?  I also have memory loss...

xxAmeliaoo I have exactly the same thing going on! I have intermittent blurred vision in my left eye where it just seems dim and my eye feels a little heavy and my left pupil is always a TOUCH smaller than my right, however, sometimes it VERY noticeable! I have had full bloodwork, UA, Thyroid workup and an MRI w/out contrast. EVERYTHING normal except for MILD anemia. They say that I have anxiety and depression which I may very well have but is that IT!? I don't buy it!! I have seen what I think are 2 very good doctors...one GP (who I've seen for years and I feel is genuinely concerned with my well-being) and one Internal Medicine guy who is more concerned with his reputation but not necessarily whether I live or die, it seems. But he says that I HAVE to trust him! It's tough to do when you go into the bathroom in the morning and see 2 odd eyes staring back at you in the mirror! I also have mild dizziness (usually just when I turn my head really fast) and ringing in my ears which they attribute to my "craziness" (anxiety) and a little bit of hearing loss in my left ear along with a "clunky" noise when things are loud. I ALSO have a vibration sensation throughout my whole body...it seems to be much worse when I'm unrested, tired or unusually stressed. It can localize to my legs or upper body sometimes but it's almost always there to some degree. I have trouble reading as it seems like words just kind of swim around on the page and I find myself jumping over words and skimming more than actually READING it all. I am deliriously tired 1/2 the time. Seems like about every other day I'm worth a hoot. I have sleep disturbances where I can't fall asleep right...I go to bed and struggle to fall asleep, then when I do finally doze off I wake up startled and shivering. Not always cold kind of shivering but just shaking. VERY annoying! It can happen several times a night. I've taken to drugging myself with Tylenol PM every night so that I can get a little rest! That seems to help. I still wake up from time to time with an uneasy, nervous feeling but not much of the shivering thing goes on when I've taken that PM. I also (just in the past week or so) have developed a kind of travelling pain. Like I'll get a 10 second ache in my right shin, then soon after that it's my left upper arm then in between my fingers. WEIRD. Doctor #2 says that travelling pains are usually benign. Yeah, USUALLY! But lately my legs ache a lot, mostly my right from the knee down. I also run at about 96.4 degrees all the time. Not sure this has anything to do with anything but nonetheless may be the cause for me feeling like I'm FREEZING all the time! It's very normal for me to take 2 hot baths a day just to warm up! My eyes are sensitive to light, my ears are sensitive to sound. I'm a mess and no one will tell me what's wrong with me either!

I wish you the BEST of luck in finding out what's up! I guess we just have to press on until someone will help us! Please update me if you find anything out or just to say how you're doing!

Thanks!

Could it be a migraine? Visual migraines sometimes cut off some vision in one eye, but have no pain. I get those.

I went to an ophthalmologist 2 weeks ago and he said both of my eyes were normal and my optic nerve didn't show anything abnormal as well.  Although when I went my left eyes vision was not dim or blurry.. I just saw flashes and sparkles.
