Hi hope everyone is well
I am awaiting neurology appointment on 23rd this month and a possible lumbar puncture , around 6 weeks ago I had loss of vision , static vision , zig zags and just complete loss of vision and just felt really wired and out of control was terrifying this lasted between 15-25 mins happened again last Thursday both times absolutely have terrified me hence the referral to neurology I have pushed for mri or scan as had eyes checked everything perfect structure wise and really don’t think it’s normal to lose ur vision suddenly and this has now been two episodes I have other symptoms pressure in head , facial numbness , ringing in ears , nausea & sickness . This has led to extreme anxiety both times as I feel like I’m now waiting on when is it going to happen next I know from a scan 3 years ago I had empty sella syndrome and pale optic nerves but these were done 3 years ago I have contacted doctor Friday about getting an appointment tomorrow as I’m terrified of this vision loss as I’m only 29 and never experienced loss of vision never mind twice in two weeks and it’s left me in a state of fear I just don’t feel myself at all just very scared can someone offer any advice that would be great .
thanhs in advance
stay safe x
Thanks! I actually had a CT scan with contrast and a mri (no contrast). They said they don’t see any tumors.
I'm so glad for you. Bless you. It makes me cross when the docs don't take it seriously, they failed my Son!! He went many times to see GP with similar symptoms as you described and they fobbed him off time and again.
