I started having problems with my eyes last year, same thing, confusing words and leaving words out of sentances. I don't know if it has to do my eyes as it does more to do with my aging brain haha

I turned 31 in Nov (Im kidding that Im aging really!!) anyways, I went to the eye docs and told him I was having blurry vision and other things, and he did an exam and found I had astigmatism in BOTH eyes. He said my eyes could not focus fast enough when I look at close up and far off things. Now Ive been to the eye doctors my whole life fairly often and never heard that I had astigmatisms! It was surprising to hear! Anyways, I got glasses that 'fix' the astigmatism and they also are prism lens so they give me depth perception, which Ive never had either! amazing the difference! Id go see your eye doctor and see what he says! It might not be as bad as you think

I know I have astigmatism - have had for a long time but it has never caused these problems before. Maybe I am just getting old.

I have an appointment with a neurologist on Thursday morning - I'm not sure what they are going to do. My dr. said they may want to do an MRI, so who knows?

Thank you for asking!!!

Will keep you on my prayer list.

Good news on the CAT. Do you wear progressive lenses by any chance do you?

I sure hope they can come up with what's causing it and then how to resolve it. Keeping you in my thoughts. Let us know how Thursday goes.

No, I have regular glasses that I wear during the evening at home and wear contacts during the day. Why do you ask?

Betty'sMom · 02-20-2008, 07:15 AM

I'm glad the cat scan turned out okay. Saying a prayer that the MRI is okay also! Keep us posted, please!! (hug)

Well, I do and I hate them and I was wondering if they could cause the problems you mentioned. I feel like when Im looking at the keyboard and intend to hit one letter I hit another,it's wierd.

Still saying my prayers that all is well, let us know how you are doing now, is everything ok?

If it is what they call a trigger seizure they wouldnt pic it up in an MRI but they would pic up a tumor. Your neurologist would determine if you need an EEG that test your brain waves when your alert and asleep to see if and when the seizures happen. I am fairly familiar with seizures since my 18 month old has started them.. We love our neurologist.. I hope it is something simple for you.. I am amazed how unfazed you are. That takes a lot of strength and faith.

I will have an MRI done on Tuesday. The neurologist ordered that and yet more blood work. Six tubes of blood! I asked the lady how much blood it was total and she said - oh not much, just about 1/4 cup.

I don't know if they will find anything... I just know I have a lot of blood from the past few weeks going all over MN. LOL.

Wow, I'm sorry your little one is having seizures. That must be really hard. Do you know what is causing them? Give him/her a hug for me.

So, I am praying for you and hoping its going to be just fine!!!!!!!!!!

How awful to get that diagnosis. How are you doing now?

I'm doing ok. It's just irritating to type.

Not much fun when you want to be on YT!!!

My neurologist also told me to go to an opthamologist to rule out anything from that direction. I haven't made that appointment yet. Too many appointments!!!! This past week I had five appts. and one with the chiropractor. Next week, it's two dr. appts, the chiro again and a dentist appointment.

Then two more with social services. Ugh. I think I will take one of my dogs to that one.

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it.

wemple2 · 02-23-2008, 07:50 PM

Now that is a whole lot of appointments...enough to make me dizzy. I need to find a new doctor...make an appointment for a check-up, my prescriptions are running out. I also need new glasses terribly...never noticed the eyes were so bad until I started this new job, sitting in front of a computer all day...it's tiring. And I don't even want to talk about the dentist...my all time worst night-mare.
I know it's frustrating when you "know" something isn't right...but you can't figure out what it is. Trust me, I've been there and done that...hope for the best...whatever it may be...that you find the answer and get back to feeling like yourself again. Good luck, I'll keep you in my prayers...
