I really need some reassurance / BVD Symptoms and struggles.
I'm about to schedule an appointment with my 2nd Neurovisual specialist and I just need some reassurance. My first one felt like a fluke. She didn't give me a diagnosis or use any BVD diagnostic terms like strabismus etc.. to give me an idea of what my problem would be or any numbers for the misalignments. but she also kept leading me on bringing me back in assuring me I had convergence issues. The prisms that she prescribed Gave me 0 relief and caused eye pain. So I feel pretty uncertain from my experiences and beginning to doubt. But I can't stop these recurring feelings and thoughts that this is it and it needs further examination
Symptoms I'm still experiencing for 15 years (started early highschool)
*DPDR, Derealization mostly but dp when I'm more stressed
*Pretty much all the symptoms of dysautonomia
*Eye fatigue.
*Slight double vision in peripheries. When I look to sides objects start to split.
*Pain in eyes when I look far to sides or up and down
*Constant mirrored image of my nose on left and right side in field of vision.
*Just this feeling when Im looking in the mirror that I'm not really locking eyes and looking at myself
*Eyes veeeery sensitive to light
---And by far the most annoying
* Extremely sensitive nervous system, can't handle anything, nicotine, caffeine, drugs, all make me more anxious and derealized. It's pretty frustrating being stone cold sober all the time and it feels like it's against your will. But maybe that's a blessing in disguise
Although I do experience all of these. I dont experience any dizziness at all, or panic when driving. I enjoy driving. I'm hoping I find some people who have similar struggles or doubts. Thank you so much if u took the time to read or comment.
