Dear Bill,
Eleven year`s ago I went threw the samething. It started like you said at first. Then it went where I would loss my vision. It would hit me slow then get darker an darker till I couldnt see at all. It would last 5-8 minute`s. At first I was in denily. So I didnt say anything to anybody for a month. It was getting so bad I finally went to a eye doc. First they said I had glaucoma. When they still couldnt get it to clear up they sent me to a specialest. They came up with Acute Vascularites. They ran all kind`s of test. Blood work, taking picture`s behind the back of my eye`s, Scan`s,pulmanery testing, going to see them for 4 day`s out of the week an on an on. One day it just went away.
They never really knew what caused it. They never knew why it went away.
The blindness started coming back a year ago.
They still dont have a name for it. They still dont know why my eye`s or doing this. I`m on 3 different drop`s right now. I still have the black and white spot`s. Plus the little line`s that go threw my eye`s. I still fight with it daily. As long as I take my drop`s I do not loss my sight all togeather.
If you havent seen an eye specialest PLEASE DO. I also though they where related to my CH. Some doc`s say yes. Other`s say No. So who relly know`s. Personally I think it does.
Good-Luck Bill and PLEASE go see a specialest.
Let me know how it goes.
Hug`s Linda
