DB to nystagmus?
Subject: DB to nystagmus?

I can't tell what this guy is saying!  The first sentence...Neck was not stiff....is very clear.  Can't tell if a period goes after stiff because then I hear jumbled words something about...to the stagmus...but stagmus isn't a real word.


Looking around there is stuff about stiff neck and nystagmus. 


Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this guy might be saying.  It sound somewhat like the sentence below...what would DB possible be?

Here are some uncommon ones that might help in the future.  Monocular visual field.   Visual field superior 36 taped-and-untaped (checking for lid droop).   Mac-to-red visual field (macular threshold to red, for patients that use Plaquenil).   Hope this helps.
