unable to focus when reading, foggy and feeling of being disconnect

[Ranger01]

I've been experiencing some odd symptoms over the past few years and they have since gotten worse and now concerning to me.  My vision is constanly bothering me and I have a hard time focusing on words when reading.  In the past I've had spells of blurred vision followed by a lathargic state and then a pounding headache.  This headache sometimes lasted for more than 24 hours.  About 3 years ago, I had an MRI done and all came back clear.  I recently had bloodwork done and thought Diabetes was the case, but all results came back clear except my liver count (elavated AST and ALT).  I'm still going through some tests for the liver, but already had an ultrasound and Hep A,B,C test which were all clear. The blurry vision/foggy feeling has me concerned since I have recently been to the eye doctor and all was good. He simply gave me computer glasses and sent me on my way. The feeling is almost like being intoxicated and being disconnected. When I have conversations with people, it's hard to concentrate on that subject and even hard to remember what was talked about earlier. I'm a 31 year old male (6'1 210lbs) and in relatively decent shape.  I drank alcohol somewhat heavily on the weekends in college, but have 3-6 drinks a weekend at the most now.  

It's gotten to the point that I'm stressing about it and searching the internet for any clues.....If you have the same symptoms and hopefully a suggestion, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.  It seems that doctors have shrugged it off and I'm desperate for answers.

A lot of the problems everyone on this website is expressing has a lot to do with the neck area. Stress does have some play on this but it's more of a chronic problem. I suffer from a lot of these symptoms myself and a simple heating pad and a wet wash cloth on the neck and upper shoulder blade area for 20 min and some massaging of the muscles can help your clarity tremendously. I find my self needing to do this daily. some of the other symptoms dizziness etc. ,it possibly could be connected, but I myself discovered I had a perforated ear drum. Not completely healed but symptoms improving as it heals. Hope this info helps.

I just finished an 8 day fast, then started having symptoms of trouble concentrating when someone is talking to me & then trouble remembering what they said, blurrier than normal vision, not able to read words clearly, and have been zoning/daydreaming a lot. I was feeling like it could be symptoms of a stroke & was close to going to the ER lastnight. Does this sound like something you went thru?  Thank you

I am replying to the last person in this post however this is for everyone who haas posted on all these weird symptoms first of all your not crazy, lazy, or anything else. I seem to be the oldest one in here with these symptoms, in that part the news is not good, i have been having these symptoms for over 15 years. After way too manyDr visits, test, and even trips to the mayo clinic here is what i have found out.  I found out i was exposed to a posion,  its the type they spray on trees for fungus and bugs, they found it in a hair sample. I never knew i had been exposed.  The next thing they found was iwasexposed to high doses of sulfur, which i found out i was exposed to when i went to Newfoundland, the water supply there has it in the water. It is found in a lot of water you get from public water companies. The third thing i foundout was i have not one but two different types of muscle diseases. One of these types causes your muscles to break free from surrounding tissue. Think about that everywhere in your body that muscles conne t to any other tissue it breaks free from that tissue. Hence headaches, blurred vision, etc...it effects every part of y0ur body. I had to under go surgery before they found it. I found a general surgeon ask him to do a muscle on my left thigh just above the knee he really didnt want to but finally agreed to do it. My whole life has changed now that i know what was making me have all the strange symptoms. Please email me if i can help you in anyway.  I havefound things thathelp the symptoms.  Laura. ***@**** i woulx notnormally put my email in anything public but i know what your going thru.

I have everything you guys have with the exception of pain. I have little to no pain. I also believe it is what we eat....I exercise almost daily and have loss 15lbs in the last 8 months...intentionally. It helped for awhile and I eat more fruit and vegetables. I use that "bullet" to eat more health. This has also helped. We all are being slowly poisen by our food. Not purposely but by accident. All this to have foods last longer, taste better, look appetizing. We cannot out engineer God when it comes to food. Also I believe it is the air we breath that is full of terrible microbes that is causing illnesses that we have yet named. Again it is not intentional. We all contribute when we drive our cars ....etc..We need to figure out how to shore up our immune system because we are not able to stop the circle of violence we have mounted on our environment. I believe we can make personal choices as to what we eat and where we live and what exercise/lifestyle we choose to overcome these issues related to our health. I really do not have confidence in our medical community and I am a RN.  We do not spend the time or energy to really research these common problems. However the medical community is advancing little by little...but we can do a lot more if money was not our only motivator. God Bless us All.................RDC

all of you should be tested for lyme and co-infections of lyme disease by a LLMD (lyme literate medical doctor) NOT your general doctor.

From the symptoms you described I feel like it could be Ocular Migraines or a pinched nerve in your back or neck. I suffer from both and all your symptoms sound vaguely familiar. Hope this helps.
