I have adies in both sides, and my neurologist believes that it was caused by a mild to severe concussion on my left side. Although I have Adies in both eyes, my right side has been much more affected than my left. I have diminished reflexes and feeling, mostly in my right side. Although the loss of feeling is still moderate, my optha neurologist has not predicted it getting any worse or that I may need a cane in the future. When he diagnosed me he was not dissapointed, but slightly awed by it, because he has so few patients with it. I was diagnosed just over a year ago and he has told me that from here on out my symptoms should not get any worse for four maybe five years. Which is when he predicted that my pupils will become too small. From what he said, this can take anywhere between three and ten years, and some never become too small, but I have yet to hear of anyone needing a walker, cane or wheelchair simply because of adies. One last thing that he told me is that since my diagnosis I have shown signs of fibromyalgia. I do have a family history of it, but some of the more severe symptoms that I've had may be caused by that.
