@avmcbellar I’ve had strabismus since I was born 44 years ago. I had to wear eye patches as a baby. I had eye muscle surgery in 2004 and it straightened for a while, but it has slightly turned back in over the years. I have an astigmatism in that eye, so turning the eye in helps me focus, I guess that’s why it regressed a little. Only really noticeable when tired. Yes, each time I’ve had an angiogram it’s through the femoral artery/vein. The coil was also placed using this route.

I used to work in cardiac critical care, the I worked in endoscopy, now I’m in urology research. I’m hoping I can get my hospital to start it’s own support group. It’s a well-known facility, so I think it would be helpful.

Hi @snoopyrn I understand the patch allows the weaker eye to be used more so the muscles can get stronger. I’m sorry it gave you trouble through the years. Not much can be done after corrective surgery. I had read that the surgical results may change. As long as it is minor and not bothersome I would not do anything either.
Looks like you had different experiences.....cardiac, endoscopy, and urology. Nice! With urology research did you have a desk job and not on the floor with patients?

Usually the coil is done through the groin. I am glad it worked out for you. The headaches, sounds, firing from the feet can all be scary. It got to the point where I could tell in my brain of the new connections being made. It doesn’t happen as often now as it did in the beginning which makes sense.
If you find out anything helpful with the vestibular let me know. I had tried PT using vestibular exercises for balance but it didn’t work. Made me dizzier then had a migraine the next day. You too, hope you get better with each day. Toni
