Val, mine is a neuro-optho also. She "cured" my vertigo! I had been fighting it since I was a kid. It can still hit but VERY rarely. I am so happy I found her. I researched to find her. Good luck to you! hugs, Shirleymarion j rojas wrote: Sure is! University of North Carolina is as well.Hang in there, Val, and do keep me/us updated.Love to you,n Ok, the real deal... Hello all, I finally came to the reality that I am not doing at all well in this heat and humidity. I've been trying so hard to ignore the symptoms. But, I can't do it anymore. I am rapidly losing my sight. Everyday it gets worse and worse. I woke up this morning and could barely see out of my right eye at all. All I could see is light. No detail what so ever. My left eye has been going for a couple of months now. It's not as bad as the right, but it's getting there. I am scared to death. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't see anything anymore. On top of this, I've been battling bladder

incontinence to boot. Thank goodness I've had no accidents in public, but at home, it's a different issue. Because, I'm having trouble seeing, and it's throwing my balance off, I am lucky if I get to the bathroom before peeing all over myself. It wouldn't be so bad, but I don't have a washer and dryer. And it costs too much money to keep going to the laundromat. I can only wash a couple of items out by hand at a time. I have no place to dry them except the bathroom. Hanging in the shower. Yesterday, Tom and I went out pricing canes. I'm in need of one now that my balance is so off. I'm so afraid of falling. You'd think that I'd be used to it by now. But, you never get used to it. It hurts every time. I realize that just a straight simple cane is not adequate for me. I need one of those canes that has the four feet. I call them quad canes. I don't know what their called. I found one that I want, but I have to wait until Tom gets paid again before I can get

it. Today, I called an Ophthalmologist and made and appointment for this Thursday. I know that Optic Atrophy is not curable, but I'm hoping that there is something that can be done before I lose my other eye. I did some reading on OA and it said that often times when you lose the sight in one eye, you'll eventually lose the sight in the other. This is so scary for me. The thought that I may wake up one morning and be blind, is something I don't like to think about. Well, that's what's going on here. I am going to try to keep looking at the glass as half full even if it means going into total denial.Love and blessings,Val The residual attributes that we pass down to our children may not be in our genes... but in our souls.

Hello everyone,

Here's a piece of good news. We are moving again. Yepper, that's right. The landlord tried to raise our rent on us and I just wasn't going for it. We have spent this whole summer in this miserable heat and it has effected me in a negative way. No matter how many times we told him about my condition and how it was making me sick again. He just couldn't get it. Surprise...surprise . So when he called Tom Friday and said he was raising the rent $185.00 month. That was the last straw. Listen to this... His excuse for raising the rent was because the electricity had gone up and he needed to be compensated. The electricity went up! Now, who's fault is that? He's the one who controls the stupid thermostat, not us. This whole summer, it hasn't gotten below 85* in the house.

So, today I gave our other landlady a call. I asked her if she minded if we moved back with her. Bless her heart. She was actually very excited when I called. I told her we'd like to move in the beginning the first of next month. She says, "Why do you have to wait until the first of the month, why can't you do it tomorrow? I know you've already paid for this month." I explained to her that we didn't have the money to give her for the remaining part of the month and we couldn't pay her until the first. She told me to forget it, she was all too happy to take us in.

Now, isn't that special? I knew we should have never left her in the first place. But, being a good wife, (har har) I went against my better judgment. Oh well... that's water under the bridge. I'm so happy now!

I just had to share this news with you all. I'm about to explode!!!

Love and blessings,

Val

Thanks Challis~

That's the plan. We are all going to try to work together to make this a more bearable time.

I've also got to say that after reading the post you posted to E. I realize how I myself displayed the most ugly side of my characteristic. For that I apologize to E., you, and the rest of the group. I owe her an apology. Whether she is just struggling with the newness of her boyfriend's illness and wants to leave him out of lack of compassion, or if she's just asking for support on how to deal with someone who has an illness, such as his, I should never have been ugly about it. I hastily lit into her, not really knowing her true feelings concerning her actions. It took your post and 's post to make me see that I was wrong.

Thank you,

Love and blessings,

Val

I am not in a relationship now - I realize people cope in different ways to a situation like this - still she had a lot of gall to ask us to tell her boyfriend she was leaving

Sorry I saw too many in the nursing home and hospice alone

Hmmm.... Maybe I misundestood. Is that what she meant by giving her some words? I thought she was asking us to give her some words for herself. You know, like words of understanding.

Still... If she was looking for words to give her boyfriend the heave ho, I should never have responded in that way. There is a way one can tell someone off without making oneself look as bad as the other. In my opinion, I don't think I put a very good light upon myself. I see it as a character flaw in myself, and I've really been trying hard to change that.

I haven't gone back and read the back messages, but do you remember if she had posted before this little diddy? I don't remember seeing one. I'm beginning to think that this was just some drive-by poster who wanted to stir up a big ol' pot o' trouble. I'm over it now, but it did anger me when I read the post. I just don't think I handled it properly.

Hey Val,.........don't worry about how you answered. I too was upset when I first read her post, and thought what nerve she had even asking US such a thing. Thats why I wrote in the beginning of my post what I did in asking her why she thought a support group for MS'ers was a place to ask such a question?

I looked back to when she joined the group, and it wasn't too long ago. [June 29th]

I am sure she unsubbed as she realized how upset it made everyone. I hope we gave her something to think about, and hopefully thru our anger she will do the right thing for both of them.

Blessings and hugs, Jackie

As to what she wrote... I've read it over several times. Keeping in mind she is not from this country, and keeping in mind that translation isn't always easy, it 'could' go either way. Reading it over after reading what you wrote, it really does strike me as asking for words (help) for her. I didn't read it that way at first.

Re: Val

Hmmm.... Maybe I misundestood. Is that what she meant by giving her some words? I thought she was asking us to give her some words for herself. You know, like words of understanding.

Still... If she was looking for words to give her boyfriend the heave ho, I should never have responded in that way. There is a way one can tell someone off without making oneself look as bad as the other. In my opinion, I don't think I put a very good light upon myself. I see it as a character flaw in myself, and I've really been trying hard to change that.

Love and blessings,

I tried twice to send her an email. I kept getting the Damien notification. (Is that what it's called?)

Aww, what a sweet lady she is. I'm glad you'll be moving back. I know it was hard for you to leave in the first place.

This time. Nail your butt down. LOL

Hello everyone,

Here's a piece of good news. We are moving again. Yepper, that's right. The landlord tried to raise our rent on us and I just wasn't going for it. We have spent this whole summer in this miserable heat and it has effected me in a negative way. No matter how many times we told him about my condition and how it was making me sick again. He just couldn't get it. Surprise...surprise . So when he called Tom Friday and said he was raising the rent $185.00 month. That was the last straw. Listen to this... His excuse for raising the rent was because the electricity had gone up and he needed to be compensated. The electricity went up! Now, who's fault is that? He's the one who controls the stupid thermostat, not us. This whole summer, it hasn't gotten below 85* in the house.

So, today I gave our other landlady a call. I asked her if she minded if we moved back with her. Bless her heart. She was actually very excited when I called. I told her we'd like to move in the beginning the first of next month. She says, "Why do you have to wait until the first of the month, why can't you do it tomorrow? I know you've already paid for this month." I explained to her that we didn't have the money to give her for the remaining part of the month and we couldn't pay her until the first. She told me to forget it, she was all too happy to take us in.

Now, isn't that special? I knew we should have never left her in the first place. But, being a good wife, (har har) I went against my better judgment. Oh well... that's water under the bridge. I'm so happy now!

I just had to share this news with you all. I'm about to explode!!!

Love and blessings,

Val

Yes! Exactly! I'm glad you understand. The way I conducted myself was not how I believe He would have conducted Himself. And believe me... it came right back to me. It's kind of a long story, so I'll just say I've really got to work on my temper and self-control.
