Journal Entry for January 26, 2008 Mood
Saturday, January 26, 2008
I have had problems with right eye whe I had a flare up once but not severe or lasting long. Often my right eye seems to get tired & semi closes which makes focus harder etc.
Yesteday after we had done out shoppung we got home & my right eye was like it had a blur spot on the glasses right in the middle of my vision. It made me feel really unbalanced & I couldnt focus unless I shut the right eye. It gradually eased after I laid on couch & had a
frozen kool ice (coloured tube). Dont think I was dehydrated as had been drinking while out. This was the first time I have had the vision go like that & scary. Other symptoms were playing up too like both legs spasm & weak & fingers same,, cant straighten.
I got eye drops in last night to try & help. Again during the night both legs spasmd & were stiff. & left arm too. Today we went around to the local shops, I was on scooter & david walked, I had my sunglasses on over my normal glasses & they block the sun. Anyway I got home & the right eye is the same as yesterday. David couldnt get eye drops in right eye (worst) as I cant iopen it much & it hurt when he trird to.
If I turn my head I cant see proper & everything looks shaky.
Worriedthat as I was already going through a flare with legs, arms & concentration/speech crap so does this mean it is getting worse with a new symptom?
Sorry for another long one with my symptoms but I am scared & dont know what to do.
Thanks in advance - sotty for typos but struggling to read waht I typed so just leaving it.

    Sue, please call your doctor/neuro and let them know your symptoms. You don't want to permanently have damage to your eyes. I am worried for you. You will be in my thoughts. Please call your doc! Take care of yourself! Love, M

    Sorry you're having trouble with your vision. Optic neuritis was my first MS symptom and it is NO FUN! I agree, call your doc, they can help you with that. Take care and stay strong!

    Peace.................David
