The last few days my vision is blurry at times then goes away.
Is this normal for CRPS or should I worry?

I don't know if this is normal or not for CRPS but, I can tell you that I have the same issues with blurry vision off/on and for me it seems to be a side effect from medications; could this be possible for you? |

Hi Zoo,
Thanks for the reply. If it was a side effect how come this is happening now and not when I started my new dose two months ago??

If blurry vision is your only symptom I would note it and discuss it with your doctor at your next appointment. If however, you have slurred speech, increase in headaches, clumsiness, blood pressure issues etc., then I would contact your doctor right away. If it is a side effect, then it may improve over the next few weeks as your body continues to adjust to dosing or new meds. As long as it is not a life threatening or psychotic type side effect then it might be beneficial to allow enough time for the body to adjust. All to often we stop medications because of transient effects before we reach the therapeutic dosage. I do hope this resolves quickly.. it is so annoying!! |

I just got off the phone with my neurologist and she is scheduling me for a CT scan.
She said in my case of an ongoing atrophy of the cerebellum this might be related to that. I'll give you an update afterwards...

Good luck Russell. You may also want to consider an eye exam. Hope Zoo is right and this turns out to be a transient side effect of a med. Wishing you wellness ~Lottie

I will add as many might or already did,medications causes so many side effects and obviously ,sight is one of the most affected but I got a recommendation from my ophthalmologist on my last visit ,hope helps you.
During my exam I mentioned had rsd and also explained what it was and also mentioned is neurological condition as well, well he recommended me a 3d picture of the Inside of the eyes and follow the changes if any so I can related in the future ,if anything got worse with my sight,there is already pictures showing those changes and if you are under wc process ,which is my case unfortunately,sight can be added to be part of the claim but also track any change that can indicate damage inside by the many neuro changes ,is not cover by the insurances but is peace of mind to invest no ore than 7o bucks here in California for those pictures which are priceless when you are dealing with rsd ,so please consider that option as well ,get it in your own record folder and hope nothing else get worse ,but is real good to know ,dr can listen and care ,some drs but few still existed ,good luck and hope the what ,take care from Jesika .

Just got back from doc. had a CT done to see if my brain shrunk anymore. Sad to report it has. My neurologist said the average size of the cerebellum is about the size of a half dollar. Mine is the size of a dime. Thought you should know...Major bummer....
