I have been to see a neurologist back in November who told me it was migraine. I have this distortion in my left eye plus headaches every day. Some days, mostly evenings, I cant see at all. Have been to see eye Specialists who said nothing wrong with my vision and she doesnt see anything 'sinister' there. The Neurologist was a right pain in the ***!!! At the time I was on Amitrypteline tabs which, coincidentally this distortion only started about 3 months AFTER I started the tablets....anyway he told me it was all due to the painkillers Ive been on for the past 7 years for my back problem and to SUCK IT UP and stop taking all the tablets but to up the dosage of the Ami..........I was shocked....he told me to go cold turkey and forget about all the meds. I said easier said than done. Anyway I decided to try to reduce the tabs and up the dosage of the Ami....Oh my goodness it just got progressively worse, so I DIDNT go back to that quack, came off the Ami altogether and it eased a bit, but hasnt gone completely. So my Pain Consultant ordered this CT 'just to make sure' and see if it throws out anything. But yes sinus could also be an option. I dont generally suffer with any allergies but who knows!!

Ill keep you updated anyway. Thanks for that

As regards your friends in Scotland, I can imagine what is at the end of that glass he drinks from each day! Thankfully my husband isnt at all like that, we do look after our finances for the rainy days and thankfully our children are grown up now so we dont have all that stress and worry too. But its tough, for everyone who is unemployed no matter what their circumstances are!
