Ophthalmologist. That -is- a really tough word to spell. = I've never been so torn about getting a diagnosis before. Obviously I don't WANT there to be anything wrong with my eyes. I've always had incredibly good vision, and I've been rather happy that way. When I got pregnant with Rowan, I stopped being able to read things at a distance. I chalked it up to the pregnancy (it can change the shape of your eyes temporarily, hormones and water retention etc), and after she was born I had somewhat gotten used to it, plus I was nursing, so I gnored it. These last few months though, it's gotten progressively worse. Things closer and closer were fuzzy now and then. Then more often... then I started getting headaches, and sometimes I'd get dizzy... Now, for about a week I haven't been able to read road signs until I was right by them, I can't read digital clocks or anything written in lights, and through out the day things will sometimes... bleed their color into halos around them. The headaches and dizziness have gotten worse too. Its no fun...
Anyway, about a month ago an optometrist said I was seeing 20/20 as far ad he could tell, and I saw a doctor a week ago, and got bloodwork done. No anemia, no thyroid problem, white count is fine, no signs of kidney or liver issues. So I'm going to an ophthalmologist tomorrow to take a more extensive look at my eyes, and if there's nothing to explain my symptoms I'll need to see a neurologist and get an MRI.
I'm a little scared... I don't like not being able to see clearly. And no one likes headaches.
