Daughter's Vision Therapy ...does this sound familiar?

[ksole]

I just returned from my son's lyme dr and after 8 months of lyme treatment he is speaking NONSTOP- we are continuing to treat- so I asked the dr. about my 7 year old daughter. She is completing her 6th month of vision rehabilitation therapy with a DAN doctor and she needed glasses with a hefty script. When she was a toddler she had a mystery illness that she had so much pain she could not walk for a few days but it was before she could speak. Since birth she had numerous sensory issues and would not sleep and when she did it was only with a loud vacuum and when it stopped she awoke. So I asked the dr. for an Igenex test kit for my daughter. The dr. felt Lyme is highly possible especially with my son having lyme induced autism. Has anyone's child had vision and tracking issue due to lyme or have any insight? Thanks !

My 11 year old daughter was just dx with Lyme a few months ago. She has been symptomatic of "something" for years. At age 5 she was diagnosed with amblyopia -she was almost legally blind in her left eye.

 

I am glad you posted the question about vision and Lyme. I have been wondering lately if the vision issue has been a Lyme issue all along......
