My vision has gotten so much better. The day I was admitted my vision was 20/60. My two week check-up it was 20/35 and last week it was 20/25. It's still a little hard for me to see letters and numbers clearly because it's so off from my previous 20/13. Dr. Fortin has been taking pictures of my eye each visit and it is resolved except for a small hemorrhage in my left eye (a result from my optic nerve being stretched) and that it should take care of itself.
I fired my neurologist. Waste of my time and money. My physician has agreed to monitor my case.
When I visited my physician last week I expressed my concerns regarding my 500 mg/twice a day dosage of Diamox. While on the higher dosage I had these horrible tingles in my hands and feet all the time. He cut my dosage in half and in 6 months we'll begin weaning me off the Diamox to see if my condition truly was brought on by the steroid and antibiotic I was taking. While this last lumbar puncture was the least risky one I've had and provided almost immediate relief, we hope we don't have to do it again anytime soon.
Ever since I was discharged, it has felt like my Celexa hasn't been working. And I can't be a good mommy if I don't have my mental health. I can handle pain and illness until it prevents me from being a good mommy to these precious little ones entrusted to my care. Apparently the higher dosage of the diuretic was flushing it out of my system too fast. So far, so good on the lower dosage.

Oh I so hear you on the an't be a good mommy if I don't have my mental health! Granted with no health insurance I'm back to using caffiene to regulate my mood. The one plus side to that is that the effect is instantanious and also I don't have to have some daily.
I'm glad your vision has gotten better. Though when I read it was 20/60 when you were admitted. . . .I kinda went That's nothing! But that's cause I doubt I've ever had 20/60 vision. haha. When I got tested in 3rd grade they discovered I had 40/75 vision. But I imagine 20/60 is plenty blurry for anyone else. I'm glad your physician is taking good care of you.
Hey girl, I have been struggling with taking bactrim ds with my prozac and it acts as if I never took the prozac. I checked with the pharmacy after the 2nd pill. They told me if I had been on it for a long time they would believe it binds the prozac, but supposedly prozac builds up... Don't think it works that way for me..Tell them it isn't compatible and see if you have other options. I guess it was good for me, I had sort of forgotten why I take the stuff..I am so not going to stop. I practically had melt downs all day yesterday, almost called my man to pick me up from the grocery store..Anxiety yuck! Patience was so not me. hang in there.
I nominated you for a blog award. Because I heart you. :)
