Latley I have found myself closing one eye in order to see;  Also my eyes hurt allot, much like they are tired all the time.  I would like to know if anyone else is having these symptoms and what do you think is the cause?

Yes I know exactly what you are talking about. I went to a nero-optamologist. It can be part of the brain thing I guess anyways you can get special prism glasses to help you.

I have double vision  (since I was 24-now, I am 46). If you get migraines, as I do, they are most likely due to vision. You need to wear sunglasses. I have both reading and distance glasses. I also have prescription sunglasses.
thanks for telling me!!~

I have had multiple eye problems, most due to SCA and there is alot of info out there on the web. depending on your dx, i would say it is a result of that.

Funk

Every once in awhile I get into these funks or ruts.  They usually last a few days, then I am fine.  It's not depression because I don't feel sad or anything like that -I think it's just my body telling me to slow down.  Does anyone else experience these?

So many unknown syptoms

There are so many symptoms many of us have that are directly an effect of our dx.  I have SCA, 11yrs in May 2011 and because I do alot of my own research.   I tend to go to my neuro and tell him what is going on and why.  Even the professionals don't know alot.  I am going to the Wayne State Univ.

In the mean time I continue my own research.  I exercise, eat a… Continue
