I think the ON has a lot to do with it. Because, we aren't able to see clearly out of the eye, I think we strain more to try to see. I am using a desk top computer, but I'm sitting almost on top of it just to see. I'd say the screen in less than 2 ft. from my nose. LOL. To dim the screen some, actually helps take out that halo effect around the letters and helps me to see them more clearly. I used to be at the 'puter almost all day. Now that my eyes are so bad, and the migraines are so frequent; I'm still at the 'puter a lot, but I take a lot more breaks. I try to allow myself at least a half hour to let my eyes rest. Still have the migraines though. Just not so severe. Love and blessings... ~Val~Tammy in Texas wrote: I think your right. My puter screen is dimmer than most.

I am up too - I had an acid reflux with the CPAP so sleep is a distant memory - cold night - they said 19 and then the wind chill - there goes the fibro

Val Re: I'll be up all night!

Infuriates me to no end! I just had a very extensive eye exam. Of course my left eye was acting normal at that time. 2 days after, I have dark spots in my left eye again. They haven't gone away since. It just seems like when I go to the doc, neuro, optham, whatever, my symptoms disappear! Well, the ones I'm complaining about at the time anyway. Everyone wants to know why I am still on short term disability. They all see me and think I should be able to return to work. Of course, when I see them it is only because I feel halfway decent enough to run errands so yes, I am up and around at that particular moment. I don't want to go back to work. I fight to type. My backspace key is faded. I'm not sure my neuro will agree to say that I can't return to work permanently. When I saw hiim last, he did the "touch my finger. now touch your nose." little test and I got so confus! ed after doing it 2 time. I knew what he was saying word wise, but just got confused like I didn't understand what he was wanting me to do. I knew what the test was and what I was suppose to do, but got confused anyway. Half the time, especially with my left hand, I couldn't even touch his finger before he said to touch my nose and I was missing both of them anyway. I get confused at the grocery store sometimes, too. I don't like to drive anymore, but I do it anyway. My depression is really bad some days. The fibromyalgia keeps me from getting out of bed sometimes. It just seems like every day there is one symptom at least that keeps me from doing something normal. Watch tv lately and start crying at some of the stupidest things. Forget watching shows like Ty Pennington's home make over show. Forget movies with sad endings. Even ones with happy endings get me sobbing. All this crying worries my hubby and makes my head hurt.

Sorry, just spilled my thoughts and rambled.

But I sighed and let it out anyway.

You know...sometimes I think people like you and I and the rest of the group, need to all ban together and form some kind of organization to wake up the people who just don't understand what we go through. I mean, like our own little "civil rights" group. Heck, everyone else seems to have them. I think we need to demand that people get a clue and quit cowing down to the system. I'm like you, I'm so tired of how others think we should feel. What we should be capable of doing. Whether or not "they" think we are qualified for assistance. They don't live in our shoes. They don't know what it's like to lose something that they have taken for granted all their lives. They don't know what they are going to be able to do from one moment to the next, let alone, day by day. Just living like that, is enough to make anyone depressed. I am so sorry, you

are experiencing these things. Wish I was there to support you through all of this. I do. But, since I can't be there, I will lift you in prayer. Just know that my thoughts are with you. Love and blessings... ValTammy in Texas wrote: Infuriates me to no end! I just had a very extensive eye exam.

For my ON in my right eye, I went to the eye doc and asked for a pair of tinted glasses...mine has yellow tint I have 20/20 vision in both eyes but the ON in the right has the "glare" on everything. I use my yellow glasses to write checks and watch TV. Sometimes when I think about it I use them for the computer also. This might help some of you with ON, depending on how bad the ON is. I was told that a blue tint is also very helpful. If you wear glasses already you might simply get the covers with a tint in them. Ask your eye doc to help you with this. Tinting cost extra but it really helps.

Always, Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Thanks. I have reading glasses that I use at the puter and to do what else, you got it, read! LOL I never thought about getting the clip over things. Although, I have never seen them tinted a light color. They are always dark. Wonder if I can get my reading glasses tinted?

Thats what my glasses are for just "reading" and they come from the eye doc. My DH said safety glasses from the "hunting" section at your local department store like Wal-mart. he said thats what he uses at the range to help with the glare. (they are yellow) If they are cheap enought it would be a good way of knowing if it was goin to help before buying a pair of glasses from the eye doc. He said about 8.00 is what his costs. Maybe you can put them on over your reg glasses. I know you might look silly but who cares your in your own home right. LOL. I wanted to ask if you use Excedrin for your migrains?? Thats the only thing that even touches mine. I hate that I usually get energy cause of the caffine, but the alternative is no picnic. I am usually up until 11pm (c/s time) or later if you want to add me to (anyone in the group) buddie list, always happy to hear from all of the group!!!

Always, Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Val Re: I'll be up all night!

Infuriates me to no end! I just had a very extensive eye exam. Of course my left eye was acting normal at that time. 2 days after, I have dark spots in my left eye again. They haven't gone away since. It just seems like when I go to the doc, neuro, optham, whatever, my symptoms disappear! Well, the ones I'm complaining about at the time anyway. Everyone wants to know why I am still on short term disability. They all see me and think I should be able to return to work. Of course, when I see them it is only because I feel halfway decent enough to run errands so yes, I am up and around at that particular moment. I don't want to go back to work. I fight to type. My backspace key is faded. I'm not sure my neuro will agree to say that I can't return to work permanently. When I saw hiim last, he did the "touch my finger. now touch your nose." little test and I got so

confused after doing it 2 time. I knew what he was saying word wise, but just got confused like I didn't understand what he was wanting me to do. I knew what the test was and what I was suppose to do, but got confused anyway. Half the time, especially with my left hand, I couldn't even touch his finger before he said to touch my nose and I was missing both of them anyway. I get confused at the grocery store sometimes, too. I don't like to drive anymore, but I do it anyway. My depression is really bad some days. The fibromyalgia keeps me from getting out of bed sometimes. It just seems like every day there is one symptom at least that keeps me from doing something normal. Watch tv lately and start crying at some of the stupidest things. Forget watching shows like Ty Pennington's home make over show. Forget movies with sad endings. Even ones with happy endings get me

sobbing. All this crying worries my hubby and makes my head hurt.

Sorry, just spilled my thoughts and rambled.

But I sighed and let it out anyway.

I think the ON has a lot to do with it. Because, we aren't able to see clearly out of the eye, I think we strain more to try to see. I am using a desk top computer, but I'm sitting almost on top of it just to see. I'd say the screen in less than 2 ft. from my nose. LOL. To dim the screen some, actually helps take out that halo effect around the letters and helps me to see them more clearly.

I used to be at the 'puter almost all day. Now that my eyes are so bad, and the migraines are so frequent; I'm still at the 'puter a lot, but I take a lot more breaks. I try to allow myself at least a half hour to let my eyes rest. Still have the migraines though. Just not so severe.

Love and blessings...

I think your right. My puter screen is dimmer than most. It is a laptop and I think it dims to conserve power. Wondering if the migraine is related to ON. I noticed earlier it was painful in and around my left eye when I looked around.Val Lee <a1manladyyahoo (DOT) com> wrote:

HI Tammy~

Yeah, I've wondered that myself. I have migraines at least 3 times a week. The 'puter doesn't bother me too much. But then again, I kind of dim the screen a little. Not too much though, I can't see out of one eye.

Hope you get to feeling better real soon.

Love and blessings...

Have had a migraine for the last 4-6 hrs. I have taken all the meds I dare to take for it. Now I'm on to coffee. Last resort that usually dulls it until I can either take another med later or get to the clinic for an injection. So, if anyone feels chatty tonight, email away! Funny, light and the tv hurt my head when I have a migraine, but the puter screen is ok. Wonder why that is? Hmmmmm.....somethin g to ponder in my wide awake bordem tonight. Hugs and kisses to everyone!

I added you to my buddy list so we can IM on those late nights! I do use Excedrine Migraine as a first defense. I give 30 min and if there is no sign of relief, then I try ice on my neck. 15 min later I try dark chocolate. Another 30 min I finally drink coffee. After all this, I go to the clinic for my shot. The ice thing is more for the nasea rather than the headache. If I have to use the ice, it's a sure bet that I will be at the clinic soon. Hunting glasses....I think my son has a pair! Gonna try it! Thanks!"lastinline10@..." wrote: Thats what my glasses are for just "reading" and they come from the eye doc. My DH said safety glasses from the "hunting" section at your local department store like Wal-mart. he said thats what he uses at the range to help with the glare. (they are yellow) If they are cheap enought it would be a good way of knowing if it was goin to help before buying a pair of glasses from the eye doc. He said about 8.00 is what his costs.
