I'm feeling distressed today. I am having trouble seeing what's on my computer screen. When I first sign on I see ok for about the first 10-15 minutes, then my vision begins to blurr. I get a monstrous headache and I have one heck of a time seeing what's on my laptop screen. Graphics are fuzzy and written words are impossible to read. My e-mail is piling up because I can only get through the first few before my vision goes and I can no longer read them. I have no idea if this is a problem caused by looking at the computer screen or if it's a progression of my disease. I lost my ability to read books and magazines awhile back because my disease effects my eyes and reading them-even with a magnifying glass-finally became too dificult. It didn't seem to effect my vision when it came to the computer though. That is until a few days ago. Now I'm wondering if I"m gonna lose the one thing that makes me feel hope, that being the ability to research my disease online and the support I've gained from the online friends I've made. I'm hoping this post doesn't have a bunch of errors on it because I can't read what I've typed to save my life. (good thing I learned to type in highschool) I'm aching to read my friends page and find out what's going on in my friends lives but I can't read it. I'm gonna put the laptop aside for an hour or two then see if I can see it any better. But if I can't.......then what?
