now, when i get tired, stressed or super hot...the doubles return! usually have to rest it out but it truly sucks....
hopefully, things will get better for you..do ask about the plastic "stick-on" prisms...i can ask my provider about the name if you need help...take care, m

FIVE MONTHS??? It lasted five months for you???
I called my neuro a few minutes ago to ask about steroids. This is driving me bananas. It's not so much the doubles, but the spinnies that the doubles are giving me. I'm tired of feeling sick.
Hopefully steroids wouldnt make me feel sicker.
I just spent money getting a gym membership that I cant use now, and I wanted to go back to school in a couple of months. I cant do any of that if I'm seeing twins of everything and cant walk straight.
stupid $%^&ing MS!! It $%^&ing sucks!
