I'm intigued.... has anyone out there with TOS experienced Scintillating Scotoma OR eye muscle twitches?
![]() Yes I know occipital headaches are common for TOS sufferers ( Unfortunately this is a regular for me) but I have also experienced SS, 3 times now.... it's like a crazy psychadelic wavy lightshow in your field of vision- very trippy! Let me know please, I'm curious to find out if it is a common symptom of TOS that's not mentioned? Thanks for any input, SD38 ![]() |

I had scintillating scotoma (SS) over ten years ago which was around time I got my first TOS symptoms in my arm, although I did not know what either was.
I have not had SS in a long, long time, but I have eye muscle twitches on the symptomatic side. I don't know if these are individually "common" as you say, but I think it's common for TOS people to have *something* in addition to classic signs. That's my inference just from reading these forums. But maybe it's only common in problem cases. |

The eye I experienced( SS) in is slightly smaller- not the actual pupil size but the surrounding eyelids. Only minimal difference but noticable when you focus on it. I find that I have to accentuate that eye with extra eyeliner to widen the appearance of it.Strange! ![]() I've also had rib excision op - VTOS ( 28 days ago) and due another on opposite side- V/ATOS.... I wonder if that will make a difference? OR prehaps get my eyes tested, as it is actually weaker too _ vision can get blurry. I must confess that I have NEVER bothered to have them checked. Check out posts by Chroma---- some very good tips given on stretching the SCM etc. Thanks SD38 Hope your symptoms hold off for you. ![]() Last edited by SD38; 10-01-2011 at 05:24 AM.
