Hi guys, it's been a very longtiime since I started to suffer from poor vision and blurriness. Headaches here and there, dizziness, nausea, motion sickness, etc.

I've been going from eye clinics to neuros for like 7 years now and all they say is, my eyes are perfect. But these symptoms are always present, pain in the head, eyes and inability to focus and concentrate.

I recently checked up these symptoms and everything points to this condition, vertical Heterephoria.

Please is there anyone who is familiar with this condition?

I'm from Africa and I think its gonna be difficult to get good treatment down here, I've had too much of it already and I'm tired of this body.

      Hi.. I looked up at MS and I don't think I'm used to its symptoms.

      I feel it's VH that is my problem because all the symptoms I feel are accurately related to it.

      Thanks for your time. smile

    Have you had a Brain MRI yet?

    Go to an eye specialist with specialized equipment that can photograph behind the eye.

    Have them check for Papilledema.

    And tell the eye specialist and neurologist to check for a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Psuedo Tumor Cerebri. Look it up that sounds similar to the symptoms you have described.

    Possibly explore medical treatment in a more medically advanced country too if possible.

    Hope that helps.

      Hi, thanks for your time.

      I Think I'm free of Papilledema

      I'm currently looking into other suggestions. Thank you.
