Question about Visual Evoked Potential?
 

Hey all :)
I went to the neurologist and didnt even realize it until they checked but i guess i see color differently in one eye than the other so they suggested i take a VEP. In the particular eye where the color seemed duller/darker is the eye that i occasioanlly get blurry vision. Besides MS, is there any other explanation for having different vision like that? Ive never had bouts of blindness or anything. (Im not diagnosed with MS just trying to figure out whats wrong, had an MRI of the brain and cerv spine which was clear and passed their other moving/poking tests but still have unexplained issues and MS runs in family) their having me do an mri of my middle back now to check for lesions along with the VEP...could this color problem mean something else other than MS? Thanks for lettng me carry on :)

I had this symptom with Optic Neuritis. Besides being painful, the ON caused my vision to be dimmer in that eye and my ability to see color was affected.

Your eye problems could be due to other illnesses, but, since MS runs in your Family, my money's on MS......Even with a clear (early) MRI. Did you get both head and body MRIs? With contrast? Did you have a LP?

:hug:

Thanks for the responses! :) Ive had the MRI with and without contrast at highest imaging of head and cervical spine but it came out clear...they have just requested for me to get one for my middle back and for the evoked potential...They also said that I have really high arches in my feet which could mean something neurological? and little muscle strength or ability to lift my foot...they kept asking me if i drag my feet or trip which i dont at all and im still able to run on a treadmill. i havnt had a LP although it may be helpful. I have never heard of having optic neuritis without significant visual problems so im a little confused about the color testing implicating optic neuritis but then again i dont really know much about that stuff lol Im only 26 and im sure its the praying thats helping me thru this but the idea of having MS doesnt sound so scary anymore...especially since hearing about LDN and CCSVI. I would really like to start taking LDN now just because i knw something autoimmune is going on and maybe it could help prevent but having been able to get anyone to prescribe it. Thanks for your comments it really helps keep me sane and helps answer questions from real people who experience it! Hope you all have a blessed day!:grouphug:

ON can cause changes in your color vision, I know that reds get dimmer for me when I have a mild bout.
I just learned recently that intermittent blurriness can be ON also, didn't know that until it happened to me.
It's not just blindness and pain, it can be milder at times.
I have no idea of other causes of your symptoms, but there may be some.
Have you seen an Opthomologist? (not optomitrist)
If not, I would.

Best of luck
