I'll bet - to the docs, they have to wonder how bad it can really be? I mean, we seem to (at least me anyway) adapt to an ever progressively degenerating and varied symptoms. I'm sure, if I were a doc, I'd have to ask that question " how bad can it really be? " I have no idea, for example, how I can read this screen. I know it must take significant effort - as if I just sit here and look at it - it is merely a garble of letters. Tis weird - huh? :-) Thanks for the post. > Greetings ! > > If you don't have a massive headache or nausea, count your blessings, as > these are known as Optic Migraines.
