The weather lately just don't seem to want to make its mind up. Although the sun is shinning and the skies are clear it is still absolutely freezing, especially first thing in the morning. I didn’t get any more attacks yesterday, thank god, and i managed to get a good nights sleep last night. I wasn’t woken by the beast as i normally am, instead i just woke up a couple of times normally and went straight back to sleep. I think i only woke up because my body is so used to being woken up by the attacks all the time. Well at least i managed to lay in till 8am this morning which is very good for me. I don't have any shadows this morning and my neck seems to behaving itself.
I must ring the doctors today to make sure i book an appointment and go see her to get my meds increased like the specialist said. I know the doctor is back now as she was only off till Wednesday. The specialist seems to think that if i increase the medication enough it will eventually take care of the attacks and put my condition into remission. How long this will last is anyone's guess, it could be a few weeks, months or even years, or it could just be a couple of weeks and then the attacks come back. Any time with out an attack is a bonus as far as i am concerned and if increasing the medication by 300% is what is required then that's what i have to do.
I have noticed something since i started the medication that i have to point out to the doctor as it is starting to worry me. My eyesight has suddenly gone really bad. I used to have brilliant eyesight when i was younger and was tested with 20/20 vision (sniper vision). lately i have been on the computer or been reading something and suddenly my eyesight goes all blurry and i cant read a damb thing unless i move it further away from me. I know your eyesight can get worst as you get older and i am not getting any younger for sure, but this is only now and again it isn’t all the time.
If my eyesight was bad every day and i couldn't read small print or papers then i would agree with most people and say that it is due to old age but this isn't the case at the moment. Its seems to be after i have had a run of attacks my eyesight becomes bad and i have to take a break from the computer or reading smaller articles. When i get my good days my eyesight returns back to normal and i can see a Gnat at a thousand paces so i know something is going on. It is either the attacks that is causing my eyesight to go weird or even the medication i am on.
it is all just speculation at the moment and i am just guessing at the cause of the problem, in reality i think it IS the attacks causing it as if it was the medication, again it would be every day as i take my medication every day with out fail. So fingers crossed the doctor can suggest something other wise its time for me to get some glasses.
