Hi all,
I'm in limbo but wanted to ask a question of those with MS please.
I had an ocular migraine last week. It took a number of days to feel like myself again for a good part of the day.
Then I saw an ophthalmologist who said that my eyes look great but that I need to tell my neuro next month about my headaches and eye issues. After his testing I felt poorly for a number of hours which I'm sure is typical.
However, I seem to only feel like me for seven to nine hours each day and then my head feels spacey, my eye hurts more than usual, head pains, headaches, neck, face, teeth pain comes and goes. I get a bit nauseaus.
I'm not experiencing vertigo because I've had that twice and this feels different. I'm not experiencing TMJ because I've experienced that and this feels different.
I realized today just how much reading, writing, computer use, TV watching, all that stuff that I use that takes a lot of use and wear and tear on my eyes. I'm willing to give most of that up right now if it will help me feel better.
I can't wear my prescription eye glasses as I can see better without them all of a sudden. Weird, yes I know. Then other times I have to put them back on. I can't get a new prescription as I can tell that my eyes are maybe having trouble focussing but it must be mild because I can read, write and watch TV on and off for a part of the day. I don't think now is the time to buy a new prescription until after I ask the neuro as I don't think what happened to me has settled down.
Does it make sense to give my eyes a rest maybe? Are there activities that I should do less of and activities that I can replace them with? I am a restless person and can't lie in bed because of too much brain chatter.
Does anyone recognize these symptoms and if yes or no I am open to suggestions on how to feel better. Please help as I have three weeks to go until I see a neuro and then he's going to be busy looking at three or four things that I have going wrong with my body and one is very visible - poor gait.
I'm not sick, don't have a virus, flu, fever, aches and pains, stomach upset and I am not completely void of energy like I usually am so I don't think that this is a bug.
You know when you're nauseaus and you'd do anything do get rid of that feeling? Yes, that! Suggestions are appreciated.
