Neuro-Ophthalmologist/ Hurricane

This morning I saw a neuro-ophthalmologist, to hopefully figure out why I keep seeing “light flashes.” Of course he didn’t have a clue, but thinks they actually might be related to my POTS somehow, (although I guess with POTS or conditions with reduced blood flow to the brain the flashes usually last longer.) so if I get into Vanderbilt he suggests I ask them for a referral to their neuro-ophthalmologists because he knows them apparently, and said they are excellent. He also said it could be from the vitreous (jelly) in my eyes tugging on the retina (and to go back to the retina specialist if there is suddenly a shadow in my vision), but that they are just hypothesis’s and he doesn’t know…

-Story of my LIFE!

In other news, the hurricane Matthew came though last night, but luckily I am on the other coast of Florida- so we virtually got nothing from the storm.

I hope everyone who was/is in the path of the hurricane stays safe and is ok! 😦
