Hi

I'm told by my physician that presently they think i have FibroMyalgia/ME/CFS.

I fail a test called the 'visual fields test' and have done so for many years now.

I find bright colours difficult to look at, especially red.

I see double, not only side by side, but mostly text above text. I have prisms which make the double vision even more visible to me.

I have floaters all of the time.

I have moments when text is obliterated as if a large smudge had formed over the text page.

Bright lights are blinding, yet i cannot see well in the dark. Cannot place my feet in the darkness because i can't gauge where i am putting my feet.

I have postural and intention tremor, i sometimes pass out when over fatigued.

If I am lucky I catch myself before i passout, by lying down in the recovery position i can stop the faint. But everything i see moves, the curtains i look at from the ground, or from the top of my bed sway back and forth, as if they are waving at me. At this point i always hope that i won't be dizzy when i close my eyes, thankfully the dizziness ceases when i close my eyes, unlike someone overindulged with alcohol who may have dizziness when theyre eyes are closed also.

If i pass out, when i come around everything is initially black and white, taking a little time for the colour vision to come back.

I can just look at my computer screen and it looks as if it is moving. Text moves. Words move. Lines move. Chaotic patterns on carpets etc are impossible to focus on, and move.

The black dot which follows my line of vision and obscures things, to my eyes always bloodshot. A pain often behind my left eye, which often weeps.

They tire easily.
