Good morning! I’ve had a few episodes recently that are like vertigo but also include a weird thing where objects like pictures on the wall (or the radiator on one very strange occasion!) seem to be constantly moving down the wall, hard to explain although the radiator seemed to be melting in to the floor over and over again. Strangely it gets to the point where I can just sit and watch them do it without feeling nauseous. I take betahistine when it happens but not sure whether that stops it or if it would have stopped anyway.
Basically this is a long winded way of asking if anyone has experienced anything similar? I’m assuming it’s MS (been diagnosed with SPMS since 2007) but easy to chalk everything up to it!
Hi Becky. I suppose there’s a chance that your disturbances in vision could be MS related depending on where your lesions are. Saying for sure would probably be a best guess even for someone qualified to help you.
I’m also type 2 diabetic and, I recall having something similar when I’ve been hypoglycemic. Is that a possibility for you? If so, are you able to check your blood sugar levels?
Becky, please do get checked out by your optometrist. If there’s something they don’t like the look off, they’re a very good route into the NHS system if something about your vision needs specialist attention.
Hi, when I had Optic Neuritis, my colour vision went to pot. Even though I knew the leaves on the trees were green, I was seeing them in a variety of shades of gold and yellow. Of course, when the inflammation went down and the relapse passed, the normal green colours returned. Probably wise to see an Opthalmologist. Good luck.
Take a look at “Palinopsia” and see if it sounds familiar. This is what I have been struggling with lately.
My consultant sent me to Ophthalmologist and they want MRI and some other eye tests done. Still in process of getting the tests so no idea if theres a solution yet.
Thank you so much for your reply, I’ve never heard of it before but it can definitely go on the list of suspects! It’s kind of fascinating to read about but no fun to experience as you know. I hope you’re able to get some answers and, hopefully, some sort of treatment.
