Everytime I try to go out -- I come home and crash...even if its for an hour. Huge blasting headache and exhausted. Any suggestions?
If I do drive, its no radio...and locally -- just to keep it short -- 10 mins. I still can't even tolerate tv without walking away dizzy and my head hurting all at the top. Even 15 mins...and I really want to watch Modern Family tonight! Why am I not tolerating more yet?? |

Sending hugs. I don't know what to tell you. But to work through
this. You might try some glasses with a blue lense whether they have a prescription in them. I think sometimes it takes things like this for TV. I don't know exactly what to tell you about the driving. Except to suggest if someone can drive you that sometime helps. donna ![]() |

I'm so tired of asking friends to drive me everywhere. THey all have kids...and I rather use them to drive my kids where they NEED to be.
I haven't driven more than 5 or 10 miles...prob going fri for bloodwork...see how bad that is. What do the blue lenses do? Where can I get a pair?? I'm wearing prism lenses but that isn't helping either!! Just started new meds...maybe once the anxiety is lowered...I will tolerate more |

The blue lenses helped my son with seizures.
I'm not sure but his came from the eye clinic at walmart. I think you can get them about any clinic though. Donna ![]() |

I am 6 weeks into this - how far are you? If you are not too far into it, I assume the answer is - you don't. Aren't we supposed to be resting? Resting has gotten me a lot further than I was before. If I go out, i only set myself back a few days. Am I wrong on all this?

nope..not wrong...everytime I go out for more than an hour I'm a mess the entire rest of the day (used to be 2 days). I am at 8 months now.
Today I went for 2 short (15 min) walks with my dog. He's happy...and I was thrilled to get some fresh air...made allergies kick in...but so what! I also drove my son to his friend's to catch a ride for baseball...15 mins total...so that's improvement. |
