For the past few days I have been very irritated by the vision noise I have. Honestly, I think we all have a small vision noise ( well everybody is telling me that). But, I just cant stop watching it and it makes soo nervous and exhausted. I keep checking it on the walls and shadow areas. I also have floaters. Yeah again we all have them... Well most of us probably. In the past I had many floaters and they kind of disappeard. Now I only have small amount and one dark floater which is with me for quite few years. It makes me so irritated and I keep trying to watch it. It is soo dumb I know. After having so many other symptoms it really is the last thing I want now Anyone else experiencing this ? What should I do ?
Do nothing! It's as simple as that. It's always the same answer. Another symptom raises it's ugly head? Do nothing. Don't concentrate upon it. Don't watch it. Don't fear it. Don't shrink from it. Don't wish it to disappear.
Focusing upon any AD symptom, no matter what shape or form it takes, creates added anxiety, panic. It's there. Right then. What good will honing in on it do? None at all. It will only worsen.
It's right back to acceptance. Not desperately trying to ignore it Not secretly hoping it will leave you alone. All you are doing, Happyguy, is wearing yourself out stressing over it.
I have a blood clot behind my eye and every month have to have an injection in my eyeball. It induces huge shimmering floaters that literlly sway and dance like jellyfish.. It induces black discs that are in perpetual motion. They fade away in a day or so. Now then, the reason I tell you this is, were I to freak out I would be in panic mode, bone weary with tension. But I know what it is and why it is happening. Ergo, I accept it for what it is.
It is much the same scenario for any physical symptom induced by AD.You know what it is. You know why it happens. You have the tools to deal with it and the most important one is calm acceptance.
I should get an eye test to establish if it is floaters or macular degeneration. What do you mean by vision noise? Is it the floaters that are bugging you?
I remember having many more of these floaters years ago. Going more in nature, relaxing eyes helped me reduce the amount by a lot. There aren't many of them and I keep seeing/focusing on them. Back then I had a lot of them and I rarely focused on them.
For the vision noise. It is probably something everybody has it to some degree. It is like static on TV but not that strong. Very subtle. If you do not have anxiety you probably dont even notice it. It is a thing you see when you are in complete darkness. Sometimes I even forget it that I have it if im very busy.
The problem is that I had MRI of my head days ago and it didn't come out completely clean. It might be clean but it is not for sure yet. There was something seen regarding my arteria and since then i suddenly have soo many symptoms on my head. My doctor is pretty sure it is nothing wrong since all my basic neurological responses are normal. He said that MRI is not for looking at veins in the first place so he sent me to another test where they will se my arteria and other veins clearly.
Well, I actually have less floaters than I used to years ago. Even though there aren't many of them I keep focusing on them for no reason. Especially, one darker one which is with me for a long time and never even payed attention.
By vision noise I mean... It is hard to explain... The best description would be by googling the pictures. It is like TV static but not that strong. Very small. It is like the thing you see when it is really dark and your eyes adapt to darkness. I do not remember seeing it before, but whoever I asked sees this if they really really focus on it. The problem is I cant stop focusing on it.
Hi there, I know it's easy for me to say but try not to freak out. Once you were told the MRI didn't come out completely clean you have had fear induced symptoms in your head. It's only natural but you must look to the positives, your GP is pretty sure there is nothing wrong and all your neurological responses are normal. More importantly he has arranged for another test to be 100% sure.
This is all good, isn't it? Positive steps forward. Now you have to believe there is nothing terrible amiss....very telling that you sometimes forget the vision noise when you are occupied If you're not "watching and listening " to it you don't notice it.
I can tell you this from my son's experience that his MRI was of concern and he was immediately given one test after another, a total of 10 hours spent at the hospital...so, where MRI and CTscans are concerned the medical profession is quick to see the need for immediate further investigation. and act upon it.
It appears there was no sense of urgency where your arteria was concerned so try not to worry about it, okay? Had it been anything serious your feet wouldn't have touched the floor after your MRI in the hospital
Keep positive dear, we're all here for you as always
Yeah thats exactly what my GP said lol :D He said that if there was something terrible he wouldn't tell me to live normally and send me home. He also told me that if there is something, panicking wont make it better. It looks like I have adequate supply of blood in my brain since I can perform daily activities normally. Anyways we will see when those tests come back. But, you know how anxiety goes...I hope for the best
I know how it is dear. Anxiety is a beast. This is just another bump in the road to recovery, sigh. Once the tests results come back clear, and I'm sure they will, the relief you feel will spur you to continue along that (rocky) road
They are so irritating, I got them when I was crazy with anxiety. After I got to feeling better I didn't notice them. Your right, a lot of people have them,but they are just a thing. When we have anxiety it's much more then that. We do tend to fixate on everything. Hopefully they will go away.
