   Various symptoms, are they all related? (General Health board)

10th April 2005
I notice it only in my right eye, but it is starting to affect everything I do. I tried contacts in October and they didn't work for me, and ever since then my eyesight in that eye has been getting progressively worse. It almost feels as if there is a film over my eye or like it is starting to cross, but it doesn't seem to be crossing. I've also noticed, when driving, that it seems like I have hardly any peripheral vision in that eye. A little scary! It gets worse when I do stuff like drive for long periods of time, and on the computer for a while, reading, stuff like that. I do get headaches, but I have gotten migraines since I was 6 years old, there is no change there. All I take for them is excedrin, and I am not currently on any prescriptions. I didn't recently go off any, either. No allergies that I know of...except to penicillin and a little to cats (itchy nose and eyes, watery eyes, sneezing, pretty mild though). The arms I just have noticed when I try to lift, or do something that requires having my arms in the air for even a little bit, like doing my hair or hanging up a picture. I keep feeling like I need to rest my arms. Now that could be due to the fact that I don't exercise. :0) I have it in both arms, but as I am right handed, I notice it more with my right arm. I haven't noticed any tingling. All this stuff is on and off all the time though, not any particular time of day or month. All the symptoms that I described happen at least once a day, usually more. You're probably right about some being stress related, I am under a lot of pressure right now. I don't know, I haven't felt really good in months. I'm tired of not feeling bad or good, just "blah". Kinda feel old before my time, ya know? I am going to get checked out by a doctor as soon as my insurance kicks in. Thank you so much for your advice in the meantime.
