Its almost like I am missing some frames in my vision. When I drive I see it or when I walk. Has anyone experienced this. I have seen neuro opthalmolists and all is fine with eyes.

Hi, do you mean to say there are blank spaces in your vision or your vision is simply jerky/unsteady/shaky when you walk/drive?

Are you underactive or overactive?

I get jerky/shaky vision when I walk and worsens when I'm out and about. Not sure if it's related to my Hashimoto's but someone else might be able to help.

I went to an opticians going back a few years ago and one eye could see much further than the other due to a squint. I can produce double vision voluntarily and have done so for about 20 years (I'm 28 now) Nothing else wrong with my eyes apart from that and dry eyes.

Hope you get to the bottom of this soon. :)

Hi, Jo!!!

I always described it at jerky before. I feel like it's strobing in my vision. Like if I walk on the side walk the cracks I can see in my lower part of my vision will shake while I am walking. Same in peripheral. Driving has been stressful because of this.

Hi Shaws! I couldn't find that date on the page but I read all of the posts and didn't see anything about vision. I'm sorry probably just me hehe.

Oh and I have Graves' disease but I have high hashi antibodies through the roof. I think I swing back and fourth.

Hi, yeah absolutely.Exactly as you describe. My vision problems cleared up one week after being diagnosed with hashimotos and starting on NDT (erfa) such a relief as was very distracting!

Hi, I know it's been some time since you replied to me, but are you still doing good? I still have the same issues, but I have graves' disease and am hyper, not hypo.

Rotary nystalgma? Vestibular damage? Rotary nystagmus? Neuro-vestibular/vertigonal?

Some possibilities worth checking.

Thank you, I do have bilateral inner ear damage but did vestibular rehab and that was when this happened, after I completed the rehab.

Thank you so much for your reply.
