Hi Jeff!

I can understand your concern about work. As a temp, they have no long term obligation to you.

Only you can judge the landscape and determine how to handle this. Each company and their policies can be so different.

I hope all goes wellfor you. Please let us know how things work out.

Sue

Jeff, having just gave up my job, I totally understand what you're feeling. I can't really help you much as I don't have your symptoms, but I agree with what Annie59 said about acupuncture. While I was in China, I met so many who had weird diseases and a lot of it could b dealt using acupuncture.... This old guy I met, not sure what he had but one side of his face drooped badly, inc eyes n lips, and he tried acupuncture for 6 mths, and now his face is nearly normal.

My doctor mentioned acupuncture in terms of pain relief. I had no idea it could be used for double vision. I'll have to look into it. Thanks.

Jeff

Hi Jeff, Just to clarify the blurred vision I have from the MG can be mild to severe. This is what the acupuncture has helped. Now I am not saying that it wouldnt help the double vision at all tho I wanted to clarify that I am not saying it would make it all better. I havent asked me him try to make the specific double vision better. But when mine had gotten alot worse it turned out I had myositis in my eyes. When that was diagnosed and I went thru recovery for that the degree of double did improve. I wonder how many of us might have myositis an dont know it? At a certain point it was causing pain in my foreheaD above left eye as they was the worst. It felt like a headache.
