Hi Leaning.
It must be horrible having to go through this with no one to be there with you. Here's some

's.
How scary that must have been for you. Do you have any clue what might have brought it all on? Did you start on any new meds. Had you been doing more than usual for a while? Funny me asking all this, since my neuro and I just had this conversation!

I didn't have any real good answers for her, other than I overdid gradually, maybe?
You may want to start a new thread with this post to get better exposure. I'd love to get more details from you - have you been able to work fairly steadily since 2005? Or has your attendance at work been declining due to the ocular problems increasing?
I'm sure you'll have lots of us on to answer questions, etc. on your thread. I'll watch for it! You take extra care, get lot's of rest, and we'll be talking I'm sure!
