Hi!
Hey all,
Just dropping in to say I can see again! Well not really. I still have crap vision and always will, but it is marginally better than it was two weeks ago. I don't have to have the font size on my computer or iPad set at 24pt just to have a chance of making out some of what it says. Or hold it to the side so I'm reading from my peripheral vision which is not at all practical and you look like an idiot.
When I went to the eye doctor I was at 175mg a day of Topamax, now, because my doctors PA took too long to get back to me, I'm down to 75mg. So my vision is slowly getting to the level of It Sucks that it's supposed to be. Once the drug is out of my system, I can see an opthamogist to make sure I don't have a real problem because this doctor does have me concerned. I'll also call his office and see about a follow up with a different doctor to get a script for contacts. But for now I have to deal with the return of near constant migraines. Better than being blind.
One thing I expected to start improving that is actually worsening though is my level of concentration or ability to focus on things. I mean those of you that have known me for a while know I used to be able to focus and multitask no problem. I was working, babysitting, running two awards sites, NHA, and writing in three fandoms. Now I can't even read my email and watch TV without losing tract of one or the other. And that's not an exaggeration, I've had to hide my phone and iPad when I watch TV so I don't do other things and lose track of the plot.
So now I need to find some memory and concentration building games. Anyone know of any preferably free online games or apps for iPhone or iPad that are good for this?
