I give up. I call uncle. I've gone to the dogs. I'm a lost ball in high weeds. I'm as useful as a chocolate teapot. I've at my wits' end.
I'm all of these things and then some. I think this is the beginning of a relapse. It started with dizziness....constant and nothing relieved it. I could deal. It wasn't so bad. I was annoyed, but was happy to just deal.
Then this afternoon, my vision has been affected. I can't see to the left when I first look that way. It takes like 5 to 10 seconds before I can actually make out the pictures. I'm so very afraid that it's only going to get worse and not get better.
I called the doctor, and then instantly regretted it. I don't want to be one of those people that calls the doctor for every little thing. I guess though, this isn't a little thing. It still annoys me that I am so dependent on her. I want to be independent, and one of those people that sees the doctor every 6 months or a year, or whatever is the recommended amount of time between neurologist visits. But, I'm not. I feel safer when she knows what is going on.
Anyway, she ordered some blood work. I went and had it done. They will know the results tomorrow. I'm hoping its something else, anything other than a relapse. I don't have time for that right now.

Sounds scary and definitely worth a call to the neuro.
I think you made the right decision.
I had some funny eye stuff going on a while back... It began when I was sitting at the computer and I couldn't read a whole sentence because there were blurry patches. It lasted about an hour. Was I freaked out even though the new symptom hadn't lasted long enough to be a new symptom? Hell yes!! Fortunately I had a neuro app a week later and we discussed it. He showed me a pic of what I thought I was seeing and it turned out I had a painless migrane. It happened a few weeks later in a lecture. It's good that you have gone to the neuro, as either way it will put your mind at rest. If it is a new symptom then you can start to do something about it. I hope it isn't. Good luck.
