So its happened I have now crossed into the uncanny world of being wholly reliant on a assistative device. Luckily the first things to really go were my eyes so it's just glasses. My Neurologist recommended I get my eyes checked and to some extent I think he'll be happy that I need the lens correction as if that will solve all my symptoms. He will not be that lucky however.
As of now I'm in the phase where it's still fairly uncomfortable with the glasses on. When I take them off however because my ocular nerves have relaxed I can no longer see more than gossified shapes. Eventually I will go blind in the left eye like my sister is going too, but that shouldn't happen until after 40. So what about everything else you might ask. The migraines are still there and so is the double vision. My headaches above the right eye at least are now gone. For the past few nights I've had bloody noses and vertigo upon waking. Last evening I had a sleep terror so glasses are not the cur it all for my medical ambiguity.
My sleep study was supposed to be back on but the hospital hasn't contacted me again so the date isn't set. I'll be seeing the Endocrinologist on Christmas Eve and hopefully she can rule out major endocrine disorders so the Neurologist will stay on track. Before Christmas will be my second MRI to prove/disprove ALS along with a check to see if the brain lesions have grown or multiplied.
It will be so much better when I can research whats wrong with me and finally make some informed decisions regarding my future. So far I can't even decide on a Master's Program though I do want to continue in school if I can. Finding a accessible program is almost impossible. If you don't believe me consider the fact that I had a IBS attack yesterday and wet myself twice today. Being able to admit that publicly either makes me extremely gross or very brave. I'd like to think it's the second one.
