I know quite a few people here have experience with low B12/folate, does this sound like a possibility for me? Ended up at the hospital on Friday because I felt so horrendous but had an awful experience with the nurse who simply declared 'this isn't urgent' refused to take bloods and told me to go to my GP (I'd already tried and failed to get an appointment, I didn't rock up at the hospital as my first port of call!)
- Flashes in edge of vision, floaters
- Headaches (the one on Fri felt like someone was trying to pull my head apart!)
- Periods of feeling spaced out/distant
- Slight disruption to vision, as if I'm having to concentrate on focusing my sight or correct my fine movements to make sure I touch what I'm reaching for
- Irritable
- So, so tired - usually napping in the afternoon or falling asleep on the sofa of an evening
Initially saw my optician who ruled out anything originating from my eyes and recommended GP/A&E if worsening, then at the hospital was streamed to eye clinic who also ruled out eye problems and sent back to main A&E. Bracing myself to try getting a GP appointment again in the morning, but I'm not going to lie, these symptoms are actually starting to scare me a little (mostly come on over the last week to 10 days, with exception of the tiredness and flashes - but I have low BP so a certain amount of visual 'weirdness' is normal to me...this feels different though)
