Anyone get flickers cloud or like a smidge when moving eyes from left to right or right to left? Its usually when looking out the window or the light coming in from the window. If im outside its not obvious. And sometimes in front of TV and certain lighting

I think i had a sort of post viral illness for the last few months and my ANS i reckon is sensitive but getting there. This is one of the last remaining things ive got with dry eye now and again.

Got the eyes dilated and nothing but a few floaters. Never had floaters in my life but now looks like thats the case.

Its been a hell of a 2026 for sure and one I wont forget in a hurry.

Did a skin procedure in November 2025 that landed me into an A&E with a panic attack. Anyway came out of there and had to go back in as had a racing heart and got IV fluids for some infection. (Possibly covid or some viral thing)

Had palpitations, hypnic jerks and shortness of breath. Went on a PPI for a month, the dry mouth and dysphagia set in on the second week.

Went back to work for a month in January 7kg down with the dysphagia still but in February had a hot shower and that set off a chain of events that got me up at 4am pounding.

Syymtoms:

3kg weight loss in a week, very frail and weak, 4am sweats, dry mouth, red face, cold one minute hot the next likely blood sugar issues, vision snow, pulsating vision, dry eyes, floaters , tingling, bubbling throughout body, bad back pain and joint pain, shivering throughout when drinking and eating 3 fevers in a spell of 2 months , gastroparesis symtoms , acid reflux , bedbound for a few weeks

What didn't help

- Spending copious time on reddit searching symtoms

- pushing through when your body is telling you to stop

- eating high histamine foods like bananas and spinach

- constantly blaming myself and being self critical

What has helped

- Getting off reddit subs that only deregulate your nervous systemdilation,

- Understanding its a nervous system issue, reading books like Mind Over Medicine and also Raelan Agle recovery videos.

- Low histamine diet

- Eating ginger when my gastroparesis type symtoms were at the absolute worst. Burping non stop.

- Loading up on Honeydew melon for vitamin c

- Some unregulated concoction of herbs that my Filipino gf gave me seemed to do some of the heavy lifting.

- Sunshine everyday

- PT to bring my body slowly back together.

- My 2 yr old goddaughter who gives me a lot of love and makes me incredibly happy

- Forrest walks and getting back out of my parents house and up to my girlfriend again

I literally felt like I was on deaths door. I could barely walk from one end of the kitchen to the other. My mother was caring for me again like I was a baby. I was buying the death supplment stack thinking it might save me. I was considering writing a will it was getting that bad.

Had everything you name it MRI of the head, CT and Ultrasound scan of the abdomen, Endoscopy without sedation, eyes dialation, countless bloods including autoimmune.

Current state

- My right shoulder and upper back is gone from a 6 to a 1 in pain. My knees are still not what they were but im working heavily on trying to strengthen them up. Sometimes they are a bit weak.

- Averaged 4500 steps a day last month up significantly.

- Still have crawling sensations particularly in the evening and mainly in carpeted rooms

- Eyes slightly dry but dont use drops much anymore

- Weight gain getting there but still about 6kg to go

- Have fatigue if I overdo it still but particularly if staying up beyond 11pm

- Floaters or flashes still a bit in vision hoping for these to subside as they are probably the most annoying thing left.

I've been eating low fat diet for last while and im not getting as many palpitations and as bad back pain which leads me to belive galdbladder

Ct scan was fine and awaiting ultrasound. The only thing my bloods are showing is slightly elevated iga. Anyone else have elevated iga?

More GERD than LPR these days. Anyone check their galdbladder function. Have back pains and burping like hell

Endoscopy looked fine, ct scan done. Getting ultrasound in few days. Anything else worth doing
