Had my eyes examined today because last few weeks I have been having sharp eye pain and sensitivity to light. I will feel pain then a wave behind my eyes to my brain & I get a vertigo dizzy feeling. Very short maybe 5 seconds but may happen several times in a row. I have not yet been diagnosed with Fibro. but it is suspected by family doctor because I have a lot of symptoms I am still waiting on specialist apt. Must be related to neurological problems because turns out my vision is 20/20, hum… read more
Yes light sensitive all the time car headlights are the worse turned into bqd headache.. Virtigo too Xx hugs
Thanks for your reply. Reassuring to hear others experiencing same issues. Happy to hear that it comes and goes and does not just decline.
I too get a dizzy feeling across the eyes and am usually fatigued with it. Last summer it was really bad, I thought it was a virus that didn't seem to go. I'd never heard of Fibro then, (I haven't been diagnosed yet). Recently I noticed my vision declined rapidly in a matter of days, which was worrying, I tried to ignore it because I thought it was just tiredness, or I was exagerating it in my head. After about ten days would you believe my vision returned to what's normal to me! It has happened a few more times. I've increased my vitamin and supplement intake, I feel some improvement in myself generally. I am also sensitive to light but have been since in my twenties and wear sunglasses when a lot of people wouldn't. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone and it is good for me to know there is someone else out there with similar symptoms to me.
Yes I have light sensitivity so much so that I had to get a doctors written letter to have my windows dark tinted so that i would not get a ticket driving my car . Otherwise I could only drive for short periods during the day or end up with migraines
I do have light sensitivity also vitigo. With my fibro I get migraines also. For the virtigo I take sea sickness pills it helps me. And tinted glasses helps.
