I have been diagnosed with TM (Sept 96). Back in October had sort of the
same problem and right eye changed drastically, kind of weird since the TM
mainly affected my right side (shoulder, arm, hand and upper trunk). A
neurosurgeon I saw thought I should have the evoked potential (vision) test
but my neuro claimed that in Austin, doctor's are not very familiar with it
so it would not be much use (not accurate). Anyway, I did schedule an
appointment with my neurologist for Friday. Don't know what he can do
about it.
