I had an eye exam yesterday, because I have been having so many headaches and issues with floaters they dilated my pupils to get a better look. They found I have a bleed on my left eye. It looks ok, no inflammation or anything else she could see with all the tests. She said the usual causes are high BP, diabetes, and high cholesterol. as far as I know these are not an issue. I am being treated for POTS just started on florinef about 3 weeks ago. I probably wouldn’t be concerned if I wasn’t struggling with such bad headaches. I am on toperimate for migraines. just wondering if there is something else I should be worried about having EDS hypermobility? I go back in three months for a check up…
Oh boy, eye exams via the internet! Yikes. “Bleed on my left eye”– where is the bleed? I’m sort of assuming it is in the fundus, but it’s not clear. What DOES jump out at me is your Rx for Topamax and Florinef. Those kinda-sorta have conflicting effects on our intra-cranial pressure (Topamax has an ingredient to lower it, Florinef can raise it). If you want me to look at your symptoms checklist (under articles and handouts), it will give me an idea if your doctor may want to switch your Topamax to the ingredient that decreases intracranial pressure. And it may be worth going off of Florinef, meanwhile to see if the bleed resolves. Being on both Florinef and Topamax is much like one spouse voting Democratic and the other one Republican — they can cancel each other out. Sort of… 😉 You wouldn’t be near Texas, would you? Thanks!
