Brain Scan

Had another lousey couple of days.........Bad migraine like headaches and strange vision. Opticial tests suggested the optic nerve was swollen in both eyes so yesterday was spent at Mount Elizabeth between Neurologists and Opthalmic Specialists. The nerve is indeed rather pale in both eyes suggesting there could be a problem. The eyes were dilated and the constricted during the examination procedures but left me in rather a bad way.....the effects were supposed to last up to an hour but FOUR hours later I was in Accident and Emergency with little vision, one pupil like a saucer and the other like a pin! It appears I reacted badly to the medication! Today they are much better though still "glassy" and I am still wearing dark glasses even indoors! I have an MRI scan booked for 11-15am, if nothing else it will give the Neurologist a good idea of previos MS relapse history and confirm any "active lessions" that may be present. Its all a bit naff and I'm getting down over always feeling so rotten but try so hard to remember there are many far worse off. Graham flies to Cambodia today then on to Hong Kong I think? Not sure! It's a lonely difficult life when you are unwell as an Expat...........I'll update again later............
