confusion, panic, dizziness, eyes seem weird

[pgonk]

I really need help.  I'm 21 yrs old and when i was studying abroad i just felt gradually and gradually worse.  Feelings of confusion, panic, easily startled....and just feeling in a fog.  I was also very sick with something later on and ever since i feel 20x worse.    Now my eyes feel like they are crossed and when i talk to someone and look at them, it seems like my eyes get more and more blurry to where i have to look away.  Everything looks dull and it seems like my eyes can't focus to objects correctly.  Besides that, i'm always feeling confused and feelings of being in a fog...like everything around me is going on around me while im not there...occasionally i will get a twitch as well. I can't concentrate on anything nor think straight at all... I had a test that said i had mono but a long time ago(7months ago), but all my blood tests/sugar levels are fine according to doc's.  Now they are treating for depression and im on wellbutrin.  im pretty much at the point where i'm becoming suicidal b/c i can't take this anymore.  I used to love to run, read, and do so many things and i can't do anything anymore.  i've been like this since march and if i remain like this for much longer i cant take it anymore.....i have job interviews and all sorts of things right now.  Somebody help

Hi. Just a quick note. I wanted to comment on ur post. It is so, & quite accurately true! Just about everything, & i bet it is , or should be rated as 1 of the best comments. Unfortunately, i too, have all the same symptoms, except i am 60 years old, & unfortunately was abused, lied to, & lastly neglected, & came close to dieing, BUT woke up, &
& sufferred an unspecified cerebral artery occlusion with a cerebral artery infarac, & i think i got a really good chance of dieing soon, even if i could get a good neuro-sergeon! I will put some of the blame on myself. I was too stupid, after my last brain occlusion 4 years ago, when i woke up to feed my baby, & my right side had a blod clot, & 1 time before that, at work when i stood up in the train i was working, & stood up, & got really sorta dizzy lost feeling, like floating? So stupid i thought it was another cluster headache without the pain! It was a mini stroke, from the 30 something years of natious fumes! Toxic poisoning, & the 12-20 hours days of overworking in it, ever day! How stupid i was, or could blame it on the doctors, cas they did judge me by my looks.(made sure to go to gym also every day for 1-2 hour of extreme weight lifting) think that is 1 of the most things i miss now, at 60 years. Seriously, i think you had a great comment! Steve

Hey guys,

I've been reading this discussion at point when I was miserable about the condition I'm in, I had quite a lot of the symptoms everyone here has listed, and I've been searching for help a lot. You all helped me because I realized I wasn't alone in this.

Now I am really good and that most of the symptoms are gone, and this is what I think my problem was:

1. I didn't have good glasses with diopter. I know it sounds stupid but really, once my sight was completely clear, half of my problems were gone. I spoke to my ophthalmologist and she said that when you put on and off your glasses and when you constantly stress your eyes trying to focus, your brain gets confused and thinks it is under a rush of toxic. So if you already didn't do it, GO TO YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGIST! Now! :)

2. Second thing I read on the Internet is that using your computer a lot can cause your brain to change the way it sees colors. This is so true. So when you think that something is wrong with you and that you are hypersensitive to light, you should probably stop using your computer that much. Just think about it, your eyes dont need to make any effort to see things that are on your computer. Perfect colors, perfect light, perfect distance. So when you go out, your brain is not sure if everything is okay and he thinks that something must be wrong with you since graphics aren't that perfect as on your computer. Go to nature and stop using your computer that much! :)

3. Sleep rhythm - most of the problems I had were just because I was not used to sleeping so little and working so much. At the point when I started feeling symptoms that you guys listed above, I started my University and I really studied more than ever in my life. Believe me, I had like 5 tests in a week time and I didn't sleep more than 5 hours a day, and I've been going out and all that. At one moment something just clicked in my head, and I started feeling bad. So if you haven't already, start sleeping normally! Eight hours a day is perfect. And you need to know that it takes time to get back in normal sleep routine. A few months minimum.

Most of you are in your 20's. That's time when your body starts telling that you are not that young and capable of drinking alcohol and not sleeping and working too hard too long. The symptoms you are expiriencing are reminding you of that.

3. FOOD! Your body needs healthy food. I don't eat bread/pastery no more. I don't eat foods with sugar nor I drink juices. When you realize how good you feel when you eat healthy food you will get addicted to it. Trust me.

4. Do things you love. Do things that motivate you. Psychical part of this is very important. Listen to music you love, join a humanitarian project, talk to people you love.

I hope I helped some of you. They don't call this  "modern age disease" without a reason. Think about this a bit more. :)

Wish you all the very best in 2014.

Wow! Sorry but ur emails would not come up. My eyes can get even worse, if i dont use oxygen. I have 100 percent insurance, but no doctors will see me. I went to the 1 of best hosp. in the USA, but my PC., talked to them, & did not mention the fact i had CAD, plus cerebral artery occlusion with cerebral infaract! They gave me medicine to make the problem worse, & then realized. Ive been so ill for over a year, & my PC. refused to give me an antibiotic. Ive called all the authorities, & the few who got involved either resigned, or moved on. My ankles r also all swollen with edima, & looks like mottled veins. That is 1 of the 12 things people can get, & they realize they r dieing. Even my medical records were hampered with. All this has to do with a divorce, & a corrupt state. Yes, i know this sounds absurd, but it involves at least 3 hospitals, 2 of them outside my state. Luckily, i have pain medicine, & oxygen. I was tested for lyme a few years ago, & i passed? I have 1 other option, & that is to go to the best hosp. in the USA, but i need someone to go with me to help me understand, & for me to help explain, cas of my vascular dimentia. I have n assistant starting Monday, to help me with my organized notes. I use to be so active in the gym, & a massive weight lifter. My problem is no neurolist will see me since my last good 1 passed on, & he ws so concerned over my painting career. Had suffered cronic cluster headaches for over 30 years. The last 10 of them, i did not realize they were strokes. Last night pain in my heals woke me up, twice. It ws a burning pain, & swelling. If i try driving more than 30 min. i will fall asleep with my eyes open, & start dreaming. My PC. finally told me to go to the ER, but last ER, went to they DNR me! I surprised them after 3 cat scans, & them all laughing at me before i slipped into a coma from the pain, & the cath. I have had a suitcase in my trunk of my car for over 1 year now, waiting to go to the ER! Cant tell u how many times i thought i ws dieing, cas cant count that high from the brain damage. Luckily i have a strong will to live, with a high belief in my upper power. Next week they will be giving me a stress test, but i told the nurse(doctor to embarassed to see me) i need a good neurologist, because this is clogged arteries in the brain(artery occlusion) Ive become anti-social, homebound, & angry cas no state/govment agency is afraid to help me, cas i post a ,true story on a corrupt DCF, in r state. Way to long of a story, but i will post 1 more new picture. Also i think this might be part bacterial infection. If, i ever get better, will post an update. Last local heart doctor laughed at me, & told me that my brain cells r dead, & will stay that way! OH! I forgot, i ve gotton very stupid, & my short term memory is shot. I forgot how to post pictures?! The pict. ws going to be another photo, of that eye with NO PUPIL, at all! Between the mottled veins, & the eyes forgot to mention the damaged cells (myelin sheith damage) My doctor tried to tell me if i had that, i would be close to dead! I forgot to tell you, i am asymtomatic, so it makes it even harder to come up with exactly what i have. That means, i could be very sick, & very ill but it just doesnt show. That is why i took all the photos, & journaled them, but i cant organize them anymore cas i am to ill! Thank God, i got enough nerve to write my senetor, 7 he gave me a list of federally funded state org. to help me, but i did all that before!! If i didnt have to deal with 1 bad doctor, who convinced my doctor, after my records were tampered with, thus making him now guilty. I pleaded with r good hospital. I told them i never did anything to them. I am not interested in sueing or any money, & i even offered them 40-50 percent of my estate when i do die! Funny, cas pictures do not lie, & i have a paper trail on the abuse, & neglect. I thought doctors take an oath to help people, BUT, they also take an oath to help 1 another!?! If i could handle a trip outside the USA, i would be on next airplane! I even found my passport, & guess what? It is expired! The no iniciation, & shower shock, is a sign of myelin sheith damage! I am not an intelligent person. I have a low IQ, but just so happen to be very smart man, trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I know a lot of people reading this , they know either, i am dieing, & dont want to tell me, or they just think i am crazy. The sad part is, i have money, & few houses, so it is my greed, keeping me alive, till i figure a good place to donate it. I discovered the oxygen therapy thing, then realized it had already been somewhat discovered already, & FDA approved a few years back over in Isreal. It is called HBOT therapy, 7 not only does it help with bleeding anurisms, but it also heals open wounds faster, to almost anything! If it was brought out more public, it would put a lot of damage on the drug companies, & even the hospitals. Oxygen is cheaper than a lot of the meds out their. Well, sorry ur email didnt come up. I will re-read ur comment, maybe there ws a phone number? Currently i am living like back in the days of the 1847 panedemic gold rush days, back wen 1/3rd of population died. Only strong survived. Back then all the doctors knew was opium,
& small amounts of alcohol, to help them forget how sick they were! I got 1  thing they didnt have, & that is my oxygen theory. Ur English is as good as mine! You should see my French!! You sound like a good man, & want to thank you! Good luck! Like i said, want to go back, & re-read what u wrote, cas i already forgot!! Steve

You look sick in your pic and you must be feeling really bad. I can't do much for you cause you are in another country ( I'm in Spain ) but if you live in the US or Canada there are a couple of telephone numbers that maybe could help you if obviously you are ill at the moment, you can't work so you maybe could contact these people if you are living in the US, here is it :  1-800-998-9999  https://www.onecpd.info/  Website.   This is a telephone in which you can contact people that can find you assistance in your local area. The" bad thing " is that is for people who are at risk of become poorer than they already are hehe, im poor too tho. . That is how it goes nowadays. And if you are from Canada here is a website where you can look for some information, they help you with emergency, food, depends on the local area.   http://www.homeless.org.au/directory/canada.htm

Note. Im not thinking you are homeless or whatever, you have an internet conecction hehe just life is pretty hard being alone or not and if you could seek any help out, its okay cause we all need being helped by others at some point in our lives. That is it. Heheh. Here is my email. ***@**** If you need to find any info you'd need urgently, you can send me an email and i'll look it up for you If i can find it on the internet. Hope someone really help you and you do well. Cheers. My english *****, Sorry for that : )  ; )

I had all of that, for a lot of years, & i just stayed active, but after a million years, i found a good neurolist, 7 he determined i had toxic enchfology(mispelled) water on brain. He passed on, i had a heart attack. That took some time to heal, & dealt with some of ur problems, but  a few years later, started havin mini strokes., then a year ago i had the big one, cerebral artery occlusion.(hosp. tried to say it was cocaine) no drugs were in my system. Same hospital tried to kill me, & wrote down, DNR! Later they change it, but they ruined my life. now i have severe swelling, brathing problems, & cant keep my eyes open more than a few hours! The cant stay awake, eye thing is 1 week old, & i know i am dieing. Not 1 hospital will see me. HOPE U RECOVERED!
