Screwy Eyes

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

In less than 2 weeks I will be 5 years post RAI...I have been lucky with my

eyes for the most part. I do have GO but no protrusion and when I keep

stress down they don't seem to bother me much. Well I think that is

changing

For about 2 months now there has been a gradual downhill progression, in

order for me to focus I have to keep my head tipped to the right, or head

tipped down with eyes looking up, which really makes them ache after a bit.

I'm not having double vision often...but it does feel/look like I have a

ridge that runs down through whatever I am looking at...the whole picture is

there, but almost like a split (though not 2 of everything) and walking

downstairs is a real trip (almost literally) I have to hold on tight to the

banister and keep my eyes focused out and not look down or 2 stairs seem to

run together, I missed a step and almost went head over heals yesterday...I

also get vertigo from this.

All of you that have gone through this before me, can you tell me what I am

in for? I do have an appt. with a dr. in Buffalo who is very familiar with

GO, but not until 7/30...though I did ask to be put on a cancellation list.

When this first started, I thought it would be like it use to be, allergy

triggered, gone in a week or two but it just keeps getting worse I am

only on the computer to check mail once or twice a day now because the

computer really bothers them.

Oh, the only time I can focus my eyes and have any relief is after the sun

has completely set and I am sitting on my porch...I get some relief

then...otherwise all I want to do is lay or sit with my eyes closed.

Thanks for any advice you all can offer, it will be take to heart and

greatly appreciated!

Take care,

Jody
