Eye discomfort

Sun, 01/16/2005 - 17:26

Hi, all.

     Just curious -- has anyone experienced any eye discomfort with your epilepsy? As I have been preparing to go back to the doctor {after 15 years}, I have been trying to overview every odd symptom I have had, one of which is with my eyes. My eyes just feel weird sometimes, although my vision is unaffected. I may be reading and suddenly find it difficult, because my eyes feel funny {like I am having to concentrate/focus really hard}. Also, for the past few years when I am talking with someone, I am suddenly aware of my focal point and my eyes and have a hard time looking at the person. That sounds really weird, doesn't it? Is it all in my head? {ha,ha,ha}

                                    Blessings,

Thank you Angie, We had only gotten 1 bite of our Dinners and they took our plates before my husband could get back to the table. I guess I could think of it as a new weight control right?LOLOh I feel so bad for my hubby he is so shy that I am always afraid I will embarass him. He told me don't worry about it. But I think I really scared him last night. He was actually willing to call my mom. A first for him.Thank you for the prayers, I will say one for you too.Dayna
