Also ask the neuro about the possibilty of Ramsay Hunt syndrome and Zoster opthamalicus, a possible zoster infection on the trigeminal nerve that affects eyesight. It can occur with no rash symptoms at all. It can also cause encephalitis and head pain (cranial palsies) if severe.

Brokenlady someone on another forum I'm on posted about temporary blindness due to nerve spasm and in that case, there is a correlation between occipital neuralgia and the blindness. I don't know if there is any similarity between their posting and yours. I'll send you a PM. I hope your DH is doing better. Take care!

I have never heard of temp. blindness from t.n. so this info is very helpful but kinda scary and sad too .
I have heard that for o.n. and other "illnesses" tho.
Thanks to all who posted on here sending blessings and positive thoughts to all.
PEACE
