Fibromyalgia Symptoms HOME

I'm wondering if fibro can affect vision and, if so, how.

When I go from a bright room to a dark room at night, I can see the light sort of flashing or bouncing in my vision. It's kind of like a visual echo and it goes away after several seconds. I'm 47 and I've had it for a long time, at least a couple years (fibro fog doesn't allow me to remember specifics).

I saw a neuro-opthomologist about 3 years ago (when I was worried about MS) and my optician just last month and both have said my optic nerve is fine. I've thought it maybe a medication side effect but can't find any evidence of that. I do get ocular migraines in which white spots float down the side of my eye at times, but this isn't that.

If anyone has any thoughts, please share. Thanks, friends!
