Patient's question:
The eyes experienced double vision again. On August 6th, a headache and eye strain reappeared. By August 16th, vision started to tremble. On September 1st, vision began to distort. By September 28th, rainbow-colored lights appeared. On October 26th... On November 25th... On January 28th, both hands suddenly felt numb and cold, as if something were about to jump out of the blood vessels. This happened occasionally, sometimes affecting the hands, feet, or back. It has continued until now. The numbness in the hands has lessened, but it still occurs sometimes. The situation remains the same. I have visited the ophthalmology department of the hospital dozens of times, but the doctors have been unable to explain my symptoms, and all tests have shown no problems. I have never been to the neurology department. The pain from rapid eye movement has lasted for 5 months now, and there is still no diagnosis, but I know for sure it is opticospinal neuritis.I would like to ask: Can this disease prevent deafness for 30 years? My father is my only son, and I don’t want the family line to end. I want to have a son, and I want him to grow up before I die.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the symptoms in July, August, and September are all manifestations of eye diseases, but the later symptoms are indicative of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It is recommended that you promptly seek a follow-up examination at a local ophthalmology department and actively implement treatment. At the same time, actively engage in self-psychological to relax your body and mind, preventing the continuous exacerbation of autonomic nervous system dysfunction due to mental tension. You may also consider taking psychiatric medications to alleviate the symptoms.
