Hey everyone!
I have been a lurker for a while, but am taking a deep breath and reaching out for some help instead of allowing the worry to engulf me.
For the last few weeks, I've been getting a strange vision disturbance - it's like a circle that is black and white stripes, it's only ever when I look at my laptop screen, I can only see it out of the corner of my eye and it's gone in a split second.
This also only seems to happen when I'm tired or stressed.
I have ME, so have all sorts of other symptoms, but I'm not sure if the onset of something like this is part and parcel of that.
I've got no other symptoms (headaches etc) that would lead me to panic, but of course, I still am :)
I've recently had my eyes tested and they were given a fit bill of health, and I also recently had full bloods done and all came back negative.
I'm terrified I have a brain tumour...even though logic tells me otherwise.
If anyone can help me see this from a more healthy perspective I'd be ever so grateful <3

Ps...I would go to my doctor about it, but I'm trying to avoid going for little things that clearly are a result of my anxiety. I have a really understanding doctor, but I'm sure he will say - get more rest!
