I am an electrical shock survivor and the last 4 years (my accident was 7 years ago) I have noticed that when I get a bug bit or a little cut it takes a long time to heal and after it does heal it leaves a dark spot, no matter how little or big the bit or cut.
Is this common with us survivors or just me? Just checking.
I am also wondering if anyone else's eye sight comes and goes. Sometimes I can see real good and other times I can't read, everthing is blurry.
Thank You this is a great web site I hope it is always there for me and other, Thanks again.

Hi Lee,

I also notice that scratches, cuts, bug bites take a long time to heal and they leave a dark scar. I am almost to the 2 year mark and I really noticed it this summer.

Also have the eye thing too. If I focus too long it will do the samething. I have blamed it on the PTSD. The stress of concentrating is what I figured it was from.

I have eye problems also. It is like I have lost resolution, and get blurry vision, in and out of focus. I haven't noticed the cut or scaring, but I don't think I have been cut recently. Sometimes I get severe itching on the arm the current went into, and I scratch it unaware, and I get deep purple marks under the skin, but no broken skin

It has been 7 years since my accident and I,m just remembered that right after my accident (electrical) my eye doctor noticed a tair on my eye. He said I could have it lazered or wait and see what happened in 3 months, I waited the3 months. When he checked in 3 months it was gone, he couldn't find it. I now believe that it was the accident that caused this, like I said I,m just now remembering this.
Has anyone else have this happen to them.
P.S. I am also getting cataracts.

i got cataracts resulting from an electrical shock injury also!
