How long does it usually take a person with lyme disease to go blind?

lyme disease
lipsmacker6 asked:

….that is, IF their condition of lyme disease is affecting their vision at all? I don’t know if I have lyme disease, by the way, and I won’t know until I see the doctor a couple of days from now. Just that in case I do have it, I can have an idea of what to expect. In addition to the severe arthritis pains I’ve been getting, chest pains, and slight eye twitches, my vision seems a bit blurrier than usual…..

    A bit “blurrier” is likely all you will experience. That is, if it IS Lyme.
    (Are you familiar with “floaters”?)
    And as there’s no definitive test for the disease [yet], I would concern myself with getting a good, professional 2nd opinion, just in case the doc orders up the usual ELISA/ Western blot tests and it comes up “negative”. Be aware, only ~1/2 the people who actually have the disease test “+” on the standard “Lyme panel”!
    If you are on (an) appropriate antibiotic(s) for Lyme, the disease will not “progress” towards blindness, so don’t sweat it.
    Study up as much as you can on this complex illness, then go find someone who is familiar with the ailment & it’s treatments.
