Default I have MG- Maybe MS too now after 4 years

Hello Everyone,

My name is Eddie and I have posted on the MG board in the past. Last week after a nasty sinus infection I started noticing a weird visual symptom I don't remember seeing in the past. This was in the middle of the day and I noticed while looking at the carpet in a meeting, that the pattern seemed to swirl and move a round a bit. This of course made me axious, so I started looking for it in my vision. Now when I read , for example this paragraph, the words seem to float around, like a very slow wave goes through the text and moves them. I am extrememly nervous about this and has my stress at a 12! Either way, I tried to find examples or symptoms online and the closes thing I can find is Nystagmus and oscillopsia. The problem is I don't see my eyes moving and through a visual exam, my eyes look fine. There is no jerky movement back and forth. Once I told my Neurologist about this new symptoms, since I thought it may be the Myasthenia, he immediately set up MRIs, EEG, and EVP (signt and brain test while watching a tv). I also set up an appt. with a neuro opth doc next Thursday. I have no new symptoms except for this and the doctor agrees that this is Neurological in nature. I asked about MS (which he seems is the strongest possibility) or something else such as hypertension in the optic nerves. This sensation effects both eyes, even if I cover the other, and there isn't any optic neuritis. I can't find anything online where people have this visual sensation because my eyes are not moving back and forth. Does anyone have any advice or had similar symptoms?
