My Eyes Shake When I Go Over Bumps In The Car.

I have noticed something with my vision recently.  If I look at my electronic clock while using my electric toothbrush, my eyes shake with the vibrations.  My husband's eyes do not do this.  I also noticed that lights appear to flicker up and down as I ride down the highway at night seeing the lights on large green signs.  Yesterday, I heard the eyes have a layer of fat for shock absorption.  Hmmm

 

So, does anyone think their eyes are bouncing like this?  I am thinking I will discuss this with an eye doctor and my physician now that I realized it.

Might want to get that checked out:

"The most common cause of acquired nystagmus is certain drugs or medication. Phenytoin (Dilantin) - an antiseizure medication, excessive alcohol, or any sedating medicine can impair the labyrinth's function.

Other causes include:

Head injury from motor vehicle accidents

Inner ear disorders such as labyrinthitis or Meniere's disease

Stroke

Thiamine or vitamin B12 deficiency

Any disease of the brain (such as multiple sclerosis or brain tumors) can cause nystagmus if the areas controlling eye movements are damaged."

I thought my eyes were hazel.  I had noticed for years orange stars around my pupil.  Today I looked in the mirror and my irises were without the orange stars.  The over-all color seemed silvery, maybe even bluish.

 

Anyone noticed such a thing?   I went around asking my family members what color my eyes are.

Sorry to tell you, we are just getting older. :(

"Eye color also can change with age. This happens in 10 to 15 percent of the Caucasian population (people who generally have lighter eye colors).

For instance, my once very brown eyes are now hazel, a combination of brown and green. However, some hazel eyes actually get darker with age."

I merged these two topics together so all the info about your eye problems will be available for readers on one thread.

I found a picture that looked like the "orange stars" that I had.   Open Original Shared Link eye_diseases__pictures_slideshow/article htm  My eyes had looked like the picture for "uveitis" which is said to occur in diseases that cause inflammation.  I can't show the eye doctor my eyes now for him to see it.  The eyes have changed.

Looks like it's talking about colds and flu.

Look...if you are really seeing some sudden and drastic changes in your eyes, this isn't the best place to get your info. You seem to feel they are serious. You really should get to the eye doctor immediately. Besides it being an eye issue, eye changes can be related to other, some very serious, health concerns.

I agree with Karen.  Changes in eye color do occur in up to 15% of the White population.  

 

See here: Open Original Shared Link

 

"Most individuals achieve stable eye color by 6 years of age. However, a subpopulation of 10% to 15% of white subjects have changes in eye color throughout adolescence and adulthood in the eye color range that can be expected to reflect changes in iridial melanin content or distribution. These data also suggest that such changes in eye color, or the propensity to such changes, may be genetically determined."  

 

Chemical and Hormonal Issues may also cause eye color to change.

 

I also agree that if you are having these issues all of a sudden you should see an eye Doctor.  We really can't help with issues that are not Celiac connected as our knowledge base centers on that.

 

Good luck,

 

Colleen

Is there some way to rename it then?  Eye oddities or something?

Diana.  You sound like you are concerned with the topic name but not concerned enough to see a Doctor?  These eye issues are not related to Celiac and would be better dealt with by your Functional Doctor or an Eye Doctor.  There is no thread for "oddities" since this is a Celiac/NCGI Forum.

 

Let us know what the Doctor says if you want.

Thanks, I shared it with my caregivers (I doubt they were surprised) and I decided besides to see an eye doctor about it. I've been working on sorting out insurance benefits with a new company.  I don't really expect time as much of a factor since I noticed things quite a while back, but didn't think much of it until now. It isn't a problem, or even much of an hindrance just an odd thing .  I feel nearly positive this is connected to celiac, but maybe I have MS besides.  My knowing for sure whether I have MS or brain injuries isn't likely to change my treatment plan.  That is my opinion, and I don't know much yet.  It may change.   After 30+ years of celiac, I can expect some of these things.  So glad for the clear mind, energy, and strength to be coming back.

 

I guess ya all didn't read the book, How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of your Doctor.  The Dr. Mendleson  (I think that is the right name) (a pediatrition of 30 years) said not use a doctor as your first defense as they tend to intervene too strongly.  He said to ask your family and friends first.  Often times what worked for one with the experience will work for them.  I still thinking people on the forum often do have the better answers than the doctors do.  But IF Nobody has anything to say about it than perhaps nobody else here has been through it.  That would tend to have one believe that it isn't linked to celiac.  BUT THAT is why I asked.

A nystagmus (bouncing eyes) can be a neurological problem, which could possibly be related to celiac, i suppose (don't quote me on that), but it is something you should ask your optometrist about when you see them next. If it's happening all the time, it could definitely be a problem, especially if it's affecting your ability to drive/night vision, etc. Eye issues are not something to play around with. If it's something that happens if you get glutened, that's one thing, but if it's all the time, that could be serious. Get it checked out.

.  I feel nearly positive this is connected to celiac, but maybe I have MS besides.  My knowing for sure whether I have MS or brain injuries isn't likely to change my treatment plan.  That is my

Diana,

 

If you do indeed have a brain injury or MS, there absolutely IS a different treatment protocol. 

And you should find out if it is either of those so you can be treated properly..

 

Sometimes, we get symptoms or conditions that other people without celiac also get.

 

I am not trying to be difficult here, but not everything (eyes shaking, hair loss on your legs, etc.) is a celiac-related condition.

 

sometimes, it is old age

sometimes it is menopause

sometimes it is "idiopathic"... independent of anything else.

and sometimes, it happens without a connection to celiac

 

I nearly broke my ankle, It had nothing to do with celiac.( I am klutz) I had horrid ligament tears.

 

IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A SERIOUS NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER  like MS...then, please, do see a neuro.

 

We are not doctors on here. We can only  give opinions.

 

Here's mine : please, go see a Neurologist and tell her about your symptoms because if it IS a clinical manifestation of something 

important, OTHER THAN CELIAC, you should be taken care of.

I brought this up with the new MD (Dr. Wheatley of all names)  I saw the other day.   She listened to my description and said that it was "Tired Brain."  The brain fails to put the pieces of the pictures together!  She did not feel it was anything to worry about.  I happens seldom and is not getting worse over time.  My main celiac symptoms were foggy brain and fatigue, so I would not be surprised if it is related too celiac.  Nothing made my brain more tired than celiac.

 

Has anyone seen anything like this?  I posted on another forum and 3 people said they had almost right away!  Everyone try an electric toothbrush and look at an electric clock and see if the numbers jump around with the vibrations!'

 

Also, I am planning to make further inquiries when I visit my Functional Medicine Nurse.  I already mentioned it to her.  No reply, so I take it she is not surprised or worried.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
