Today I made an appointment with the eye surgeon that did my lasix in 2001 and I have an appointment on april 14. I will update him on my recent medical developments and I hope to get away with only reading glasses. He told me back when I had the surgery done I would probably need glasses by the time I was 40 I will be 37 in july. I am having blurry vision and am having difficulty viewing the tv from across the room. But I am optomistic and hope that being able to see better will also reduce the # of migraine/headaches I get every month. If I don't have a bloddy migraine. I have a hemiplegic migraine or a bleedin rebound headache. sometimes I wish I would get a sinus headache just for a change of pace. Ive gotten immune to most of the pain meds used for this crap but if god forbid I ask for something stronger oh no i'm a drug seeker. can't win for losin sometimes. but it's ok I am learning to cope and hope one day to be able to afford another round of dr looking for a quinea pig. ta ta ya'll will let you know how the eye dr visit goes.

Just some thoughts.
