Yes I know occipital headaches are common for TOS sufferers ( Unfortunately this is a regular for me) but I have also experienced SS, 3 times now.... it's like a crazy psychadelic wavy lightshow in your field of vision- very trippy!

Let me know please, I'm curious to find out if it is a common symptom of TOS that's not mentioned?
Thanks for any input, SD38
Yes, I have. I tell my husband, it's like if I was taking LSD in the 60s and having a flashback. I saw my doctor yesterday and complained again of it, she noticed that one of my eyes is slightly larger than the other, and attributes it to my TOS. She mentioned myofasical pain syndrome and is recommending right sided scalene blocks. I, too am confused. I had a rib-resection in 2009 and continue to have TOS symptoms although not as bad as before. This is just one of the newest ones.
