Re: [Glimmer 'Colored Filter Glasses'] Re: Photophobia-Please help if anyone else is having similar problems

Hi Larissa-
Why do you ask? I had a Hysterectomy on 11/28/05 my symptoms started on 2/9/06
I had just my uterus removed, ovaries are intact.I am not sure if I was on an
antibiotics or not, I will check with Doc tomorrow.What do you know about the
relationship of antibiotics and the symptoms that I have been having? Dry eye,
photophobia, and chronic mibgraines. I do know that after I had my Hysterectoy I
felt so run down and fatigued for quite some time. I still do feel tired all the
time, but not as much. Would love to hear what you know.
Thank you-
Christina

problems for 3 months now, with no relief and no other diagnosis. My
Doctor has referred me to an Othamologist and all he could come up
with was "Dry Eyes", Then it was on to a Neurologist who suspected I
might have viral meningitis, so I had a Spinal Tap. Before all this
I had a Cat scan and Stress Test, Blood test etcs. all test shows
that I am as healthy as a horse, but all of the results came
back "Negative" Which meant that I had to keep going for tests. No I
am at a stand still. My Doctor has my on Amytriptylin and Tompama,
which I am weaning off of because it has only made my symptoms
worse. Now all of my symptoms are worse, My eyes burn constantly, I
never have any relief at all. If I am in direct sunlight or
flourescent light for too long I get very intense migraine
headaches, so I wear two pairs of sunglasses out side and one pair
inside. I am still working part-time. I don't know how much longer I
will
> beable to work. I also feel very disoriented, very forgetful (as
in I will say something and before I get it out of my mouth I have
already forgotten what I have said) My equilibrium is thrown off, I
have trouble walking straight sometimes, and my speech is also
affected. I have had all of these sysmptoms from the begining they
are just more exagerated then they were. I can't think straight at
all. Please email a message if you are experieincing the same as me.
If so, have you gotten any results as far as a diagnosis and a
treatment? Anything would be greatly appreaciated at this point,
because now I have nothing to go on.
