I am so bummed. My eyes were starting to bother me right before my second CCSVI procedure. I could tell that I was losing my eyesight (in both eyes!) and was hopeful that I would feel better after my procedure.
Day 3 IVSM for my MS vision issues
I can only half see – just enough to type slowly on the computer. I’m not sure if this is Optic neuritis in both eyes? Or if it is an occipital lobe lesion.
Today is day three of my IV Solumedrol. I’m starting to retain water which makes my eyes swell up and feel worse. Good grief. I think I may have go on MS meds again. š
Azygous is still flowing well, but LIJ renarrowed to 80% and RIJ renarrowed to 50%. All opened back up and flowing again. My valves apparently don’t work correctly, so if this second veno does not hold, I may go into a clinical trial that was just IRB approved for bypass grafting around the stenosis. But first lets just pray the second one holds!
Itās great when you have a closet full of nice clothes that you are totally looking forward to wearing once the weather warms up. Just simply thinking about the weather getting warmer after the insane winter weāve had here in the Midwest, is enough to make anyone smile.
However, when you look at your stack of jeans in the closet and nine out of the ten pairs scream at you when you are trying to pull them up past your thighs, you wonder who washed your stuff on the hot cycle.
Iāve been meaning to workout again, especially since I can physically handle it better now following my procedure in February. But life mildly sidetracked me, in the form of the āMan Coldā. You know, the type of cold that every man gets and proclaims to be the worst sickness they have ever experienced, lying on the couch moaning about how awful they feel. Crawling up the stairs to get to bed. Yeah, that type of coldā¦ My husband likes to call it hospital-grade pneumonia.
Anyway, my boys have had this āMan Coldā for over a week and I now have the dreaded thing. Guess my jeans are just gonna have to wait until either I stop eating so much ice cream or until I get my act together to beat this illness so I can get my butt in gear to burn off some winter calories.
