| Anyone else with TMJ have this symptom?
Hello-
I have posted on various boards looking for answers. I've been to my GP, rheumatologist (I have fibromyalgia), neurologist and opthamologist. I've had blood work drawn, heart tests, MRI/CT... it feels like everything! My issues... In August of last year I experienced what was thought to be my first ocular migraine. Went to the ER because I started to see a white kaleidescope in my left periphery. It slowly moved inward and turned totally black...I lost my peripheral vision in my left eye. It came and went for about an hour with no sign of a real headache. They did MRI, CT then and said all was fine. I haven' t had a similar attack since.
BUT- since October I've been increasingly seeing spots in my periphery. I see blue primarily, but sometimes what looks like a black blind spot, and occasionally other colors. I also will notice that out of nowhere, more so outside, my left eye will hold on to an image or create one and each time I blink it's there for a while. As mentioned, I've had a recent MRI and again it was normal. I'm very frustrated as I hate this feeling! I've been told it is a variant of migraines. I can't understand how this can be true if it's happening nearly daily. Some days are better than others, but for the most part- it's every day.
I've been trying to find info on the web and came across visual seizures...which I'm hoping is not the case. I'm wondering if there is any possibility that this is a result of TMJ issues? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm 25, in case you were wondering.
