I have been off the bike for the last couple of weeks, and no driving, about three weeks ago , every now and again , just in my right eye , it was as though everything was shaking or vibrating up and down. only lasting for about ten seconds, I rang doctors but had to wait a couple of days for an appointment, I had it for a couple of days when I asked mrs roadrash to look at my right eye when I said it was happening, she said my eyeball was vibrating up and down , not by a lot but really fast.
Just as when you take a car into the garage and tell the mechanic about the noise you can hear, it never happens when the mechanic is present , just as my eye behaved its self while I was at the doctors, based on my own and wifes description he diagnosed nystagmus, I had never heard of it and thought it sounded like a roman emperor, he asked about family history of strokes as you are either born with nystagmus or get it by suffering nerve damage as the result of a stroke, he seemed to think I may have had a mini stroke , I said I am sure I would have known about it , not neccasserily he said. he said it is treatable with botox injections of all things. I have a couple of scan appointments booked in the next week
I have an emergency appointment with the specialist eye clinic tomorrow to see what they say, hopefully they can sort it because its going worse day by day as in its happening more often and its doing my head in.
do you or anyone you know have nystagmus and is it managed well and do they have it under control.
