Less Pun, More Action

Well thanks to about five types of diagnostic eye drops I have a cause of my problem. Episclerosis... a chronic case and bit high on the intensity scale. I was impressed to find out that the inner gooey parts of my eye are intact with no bleeds. Lots of things go through your head when your body is falling off you like a zombie. Diabetic eye bleeds were on my list. So with many jabs it seemed a fairly easy diagnosis for the staff once the slit test proved my inner eye was fine.

My visual acuity however has dropped again and I expect will stay the same with only a minor decline. I also learned not to say blindness to an eye doctor. They don't seem to accept the term legal blindness, it's either total or not at all. I had been referring to an optometrist telling me I will be legally blind in x amount of years. Since I know what legal blindness pertains i.e. no driving and probably crap for visual hobbies I am pretty sure I'm getting there. My sister is just about there which is okay because she doesn't drive and likes audio books just fine.

I also had my renew for food stamps pass. The caseworker I had was very serious about everything, which was ironic because she told me I sent proofs they didn't need. Can't have it both ways, either I'm scared shit less I won't be able to eat if I don't give you every detail of my life or I don't take it seriously. I do appreciate what she did because I have a feeling it scares off a alot of fakes who think food stamps is free junk food money. It's literally how I eat though I do occasionally buy ice cream. That's right I'm bad. (Dairy products help with severe Gerd and stomach ulcers) Also it tastes good.

So now I have an eye diagnosis pointing away from MS and back at lupus/Vasculitis/???. It's aggravating because even if I went right back to the Rheumatologist I don't think she has the patience for an episode of mystery diagnosis. I do have the skin biopsy and pictures as well as this eye thing now. But it seems like if she didn't take the test it's worthless. Speaking of tests I have an outstanding order for blood work I have to sneak in for that diabetes check, bleh!
