Hi all,
My vision seems to becoming more impaired as I continue my fight with my disorder.
I currently take 120 mg of Baclofen daily as well as 3,000 mg of Keppra daily. I would like
to know if anyone else has or is experiencing similar problems.
Keep on fighting my friends. Love you all.
Kevin G.
 
As with all meds, yes they can effect your vision. Muscle relaxers can slow you focus time. Although you should see an eye doc to make sure everything else is ok. Another thing that effects vision is...(dare I say)...getting older. Combine the two and you get a double whammy. Add in fatigue and you might as well give up reading anything for the rest of the day.
 
Were you ever tested for HSP during your diagnostic process? If not, you could have a more HSP-ish umnd, and many of those carry the possibility of optic atrophy. That's how it is for me - my optic nerve is dying.

If you have any practical problems you are having, I've been through this war and have a lot of experience at this point being visually impaired, I'd be happy to make suggestions.
