    You need to see your doctor and/or ophthalmologist. This is something that cannot in any way shape or form be diagnosed over the internet due to the vast number of different health conditions that can cause this.

    Please make an appointment with your health care provider as soon as possible.

    J-9 thanks but I've been to several opthamalogists including Johns Hopkins. The only thing that has been determined so far is that it is caused by hormone changes and swelling. The only ones interested in hearing me out were women. Either my OBGYN or the assistants at the eye specialists' offices. A myriad of tests have been done and still no answer. My concern is all the ibuprofen.

    I am sorry you disagreed. Had I known you had done this I would not have suggested it.

    It is much easier if you post all info in your original post so that we know where to go with our info.

    J_9 Sorry for not being more detailed but I don't use the computer much and this is the first time I've done this, I'm not even sure I am responding in the correct place here. I just wanted to find out if anyone else had any similar experience/symptoms and could point me in the right direction to do some research for myself so I had something to arm myself with the next time I sought professional help. It is discouraging to have your very real symptoms dismissed as nothing time and time again. I wasn't looking for an on line diagnosis. Thanks for your concern and help.
