Any longhaulers noticing vision changes?

Yes, and thats my clue that my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is acting up and I need to check for a slip up in my diet of eating high histamine foods by mistake. As soon as I return to all low to no, histamine in my diet my vision clears back to very good. …..normal…..so you may want to school yourself on MCAS which is a very real bi product of Covid that many have and don’t know it. The doctor has me on Singular and Pepcid AC every morning to set me in the right direction but I often have to supplement w Benydryl in the day as well. MCAS can also give you heart palpitations…..another reaction to histamine levels that are too high post covid or the covid shots.

I had cataract surgery in both eyes last May and my vision was excellent. A year later I’m having trouble seeing again. Follow up visit indicated my vision should be great and it’s not. I’m also experiencing Covid rash since February so I know my histamine response is in overdrive. But didn’t realize vision can also be affected by this. Don’t think many docs do either.

I had not heard of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I am going to research that. I also get a elevated heart rate at times when I am not doing anything strenuous. My uveitis of the spring seems to be recurring. I am out of town so I bought some otc antihistamine drops to use until I can get back to the eye doctor. If it gets worse , I will call and see if they can prescribe anything while I am out of state.
