I would get blurriness and hard to stay focused (mentally & visually), but that doesn't sound exactly like what you describe.
have you seen this chart? http://tos-syndrome.com/newpage12.htm Diplopia - [Diplopia, commonly known as double vision, is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (i.e. both vertically and horizontally) in relation to each other] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopi...te-osullivan-0

thanks for the reply, i also get the blurriness and cant focus on things too close to my eyes but the double vision was sudden, without warning and shortlasting.i am not sure its connected to TOS or not.I looked at the chart you linked and have almost all the symptoms but had not heard of TOS until a couple of days ago. up to now i have been seen by a neurologist? and have had an MRI (still waiting for results)but i think they have been looking at the possibility of MS. now that i have read up om TOS i am convinced that is what is wrong, its only the double vision episode that i cant seem to put down to TOS. is it also normal to get a feeling of sunburn/itchyness/pain/redness of the skin on what i think is my clavicle?

That's a really informative piece - shame they have created it on such a headache-inducing backgorund though
Can't look at it for more than a couple of seconds! |

I have chiari I malformation and had to have a VP shunt to allow my spinal fluid to leave my head. I've had a total of 8 shunt surgeries and the pressure in my head before the last surgery caused me to have double vision. It was diagnosed as 6th nerve palsy and I had to wear a patch over one eye a couple of days and for the most part that corrected it. It does come back if I try to read or focus on anyone thing for a period of time. However, it goes away quickly after I look away for a while.

i had not heard of that condition before , have just looked it up, there seems to be a lot of cross over symptoms with all these conditions, its all very confusing one thing did stand out though ,along with the double vision episode i had a wierd buzz/fluttering in my head. i just cant find any one condition that matches all my symptoms.i seem to have a little bit of everything
