HEY...... I suffer from a condition called conversion disorder which causes me to have syptoms of blindness but returns after minutes. This has been happening constantly for the past 2 years. Before this ive had no problem with my sight. Im now worried this is causing some form of damage. I go blind anywhere from 70-150 times a day but will gain the sight back after a short time. In the past few weeks sadly ive noticed that my sight isnt very good and cant see as clearly at any time and my eyes are hurting more that normal..........

Any suggesttions....Anyone experienced the same.......

      Hey, 

      Yes its ever so scary and ive got other syptoms with to deal with as well. Which makes each day a fight. 

      Well ive made an appointment with my GP but thats neary two weeks away and not sure if its classed as an emergancy or not and if a hosptal can help me. Im guessing after seeing the GP they will refer me on to someone who deals with this. Or in the eye hospital in london. But i know you need a letter from your GP to go there. 

      So just waiting at the moment........................

      Do you suffer with this?

      Hey, 

      Oh ok i see. Is it related to your anxiety the cause of your blindness? 

      Yes thank god but also for the variety of counselling out there. Once help is offered it is good so takes some time.

      Ill keep you posted.
