Hi, I'd also like to welcome you here. You joined back in January so perhaps you have been monitoring the forum somewhat already. I also joined then and I can tell you that just from what I have heard from others there are a lot of things that can cause neuropathy, if that is what you have. Besides obvious causes like diabetes and chemo, one thing that seems to be a cause for a lot of people is surgery. Another thing believe it or not are injections, any kind of injections. There are many other things such as too much B6 or too little B12 in your system. So just be open to a wide realm of possible causes is my point. So, what symptoms have you had so far? Hank

Hello. I don't really have symptoms, my eyes get irritated and watery often- but I've always had bad allergies . Every so often it feels like I've been poked in the eye. It's not comfortable but not anything i can't handle. Mostly it's my peripheral vision that's fading in my left eye ( good eye) and completely gone in right eye. My Last neuro eye appt my left was holding up, but my right eye i can now only see outlines of images and some light comes through. I've also developed a sensitivity to sunlight and have to wear polarized driving glases that dim the sunlight and also block light from the side. I also have seen a retina Specialist and was told that I have a tiny hole in my retinas it's not my main cause of concern or the problem. it's my optic nerves.. I was referred to UCLA EYE- although Mayor is much closer. I have an appt in May.
