Brain not "showing me" my peripheral vision

Hi, I'm Sally 44, tested positive for an autoimmune disease. I haven't been diagnosed yet. But, I already have, optic drusen, optic atrophy, and optic neuritis. I read your whole post. I have lack of blood flow throughout my entire body. Causing me alot problems. But, my partner had a stroke in her left eye due to lack of blood flow. She was seen by a ophthalmologist, who diagnosed her with it. She would go and treatments for it. It's hard to explain the treatments, they put a solution in her eye, cover it, then put a needle (she couldn't feel a thing) and did whatever the heck they did. Lol I can't explain it. She can see much better, but she missed her last treatment. And it had to be done that day. I on the other hand haven't been treated. I'm still waiting for my doctor's to order tests. Whatever autoimmune disease I have it's definitely neurological. This autoimmune disease is causing lack of blood flow to my brain. My blood pressure drops so low I pass out. I have no energy. Always feeling fatigue but can't sleep. The list goes on and on. Even lost over half of my hair. Lack of blood flow to the scalp. I never knew that was possible! My condition is quite serious. I've been going through this for 5 months now. Just know that there's someone out here who understands what you're talking about.

Thanks for the information. What affects do the problems have on your vision? What does it look like?
Does the lack of blood flow cause other head problems also, or is the vision and fatigue mostly all in the head area (other than hair loss)?
It sounds like it could be something similar, except mine seems to just be in the head area.
Anyway, wow 5 months and they still don't know, that's frustrating. Does your pressure drop randomly, or mostly when you stand up quickly? Have you had an mri? I'm not sure how they usually find an autoimmune issue, but I wouldn't rule that out on mine either. Hopefully they can track yours down.
