My primary symptom was essentially feeling extremely very tired and lethargic after one drink or less. And this lasted well beyond the time it should take to metabolize the alcohol. I could feel this way for a few hours after half a drink. It also exacerbated the other symptoms I was having. For example, a feeling of detachment from my surroundings, difficulty hearing conversations over background noises, and the issues with my vision. It was always hard to describe the visual symptoms that I had, as I didn't have any loss of acuity. The best way I ever had to describe it was seeing double, but the images were overlaid so that I didn't actually see 'two' or anything. My brain was unable to see, for example, a traffic light, as a singular light. Closing one eye made this feeling go away. It was so weird! I was always uncomfortable outdoors for this reason. Looking into the distance caused a sensation of vertigo and a general feeling that I couldn't quite 'see' what I was looking at. Because my Doctor could find no cause for this, and because it started to slowly improve, there wasn't much done to find a cause. The neurologist says it could have been a viral infection that caused a mild encephalitis that just wasn't bad enough to show up on an MRI, but it also didn't show up on the EEG, so it was just a mystery. The coincident development of a neuropathy could be a coincidence--I doubt I'll ever know. |
