2 separate questions...Double vision and voice change
 

Okay - two quick questions...

Has anyone else noticed that their voice changes when they're in an active flare? I would SWEAR my voice has changed. I noticed it during first episode, too. It did go back to normal - but it's irking me (especially since I pretty much talk for a living!).

Second - does double vision automatically mean ON? I'm sure it doesn't - but this just popped into my head. Double vision was one of my first symptoms...but by the time I went to ophtho, no ON. I have double vision now - but don't think I have ON - and not even sure if I care - b/c I have no time to go get it checked out right now anyhow.

Okay, just two seemingly random questions...

thanks,

My voice changes too! My neuro said it is part of the flare. I get a high pitched voice and sometimes it is shaky, if that makes any sense. So I don't think you are going crazy for that one. My friend always knows when I am not feeling well just by the way my voice sounds. So it is noticable to others.

I don't have any sx with my eye sight. Sorry.

My friend gets very hoarse when in a flair.

My voice just shows that I am weak. Also a person is more breathless when they are just trying to do every day activities during a flare.

My voice gets high pitched, or sometimes i can't project my voice. Other times, I go to speak and gargles come out. Needless to say, I don't sing often. :p

I have double vision, plus I "see things" from a lesion on my occipital lobe. Sometimes flashes of light, or better yet, won't recognize familiar objects.

Sometimes my symptoms are kinda neat..hate to admit, but the things I see during a flair are kinda cool sometimes.

Thanks!
 

Oh man, the voice thing trips me out - though everyone says they barely hear a difference - to me, in my head, it is clearly a higher pitch, etc. I'm sure it sounds stronger to me.... My closest friends finally admit to hearing a difference. I'm ready for it to pass!

Actually, I can live with the whiny voice if the double vision left. Hmmm.
