guess I'm getting IVSM again
my right eye has gotten worse and worse as the week has gone on. This morning, I couldnt see anything but some light and shadow out of my right eye when I got up this morning.
I've got really really bad vertigo now, and my eye STILL HURTS! It's hurt constantly since March 23. Nothing I've taken for it has helped. (tried tramadol the other day...that just made me drowsy)
I called my eye doctor, he told me to call the neuro and ask about steroids, called the neuro and asked about the steroids and he said that it might shorten the flare, and even tho we talked about steroids earlier this week and had originally decided to not do them, when I told him the tramadol he gave me didnt work, he thought that maybe the IVSM would probably help the eye pain.
I'm a little scared of having IVSM this time around. Because I'm still traumatized from the oral pred that I had over Xmas that made me a bit...crazy. But the not being able to see is making me a lot more freaked out. Just a little scared that I'll still be half blind with a side of the crazies to go with it. I dont want a side of the crazies.
just wish the MS would leave me alone. kinda disappointed that I'm apparently NOT one of those people with MS that seem to be able to go years between flares. I apparently only go weeks/months between flares.
guessing I probably wont be able to start the IVSM till monday. Just have to wait for the regular doctor to call me back and then I guess the phone tag with the infusion center will start up after that.
