So dizzy...
15 years ago
General
My vision seems to be back completely. But I can't enjoy it because for the past few days I've been feeling incredibly dizzy and nauseous to the point where I can barely stand. I'd rather have double vision that feel this sick, I can't go to school like this.
And the pain/inability to bend pinky has moved to my right hand. I basically am unable to hold anything in my hand (You'd never think brushing your teeth would be a challenge...) it's been improving though, so I think I'll be ok.
I'm going back to the (good) neurologist tomorrow for a follow up thing. Hopefully he'll give me medicine for this awful vertigo, I know last time this happened my doctor gave me something last time that happened a couple months ago. Though after all that's happened, I wonder if that vertigo spell had nothing to do with hitting my head and was the first sign of MS?
I feel even worse than I did before. I mean, the steroids seemed to fix my vision, the fatigue, and depression, but caused muscle problems, pain, dizzyness, nausea, and headaches. It temporarily fixed the tremors but they are back, and made my sensitivity to light worse. I still feel weak too.
Either way I'm confident that I'll get better. Just...ugh, I feel so sick. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I've been eating bread/yogurt and drinking gingerail and it seems to help my stomach. Night time is great because I can turn off the lights. But the day is horrid because my blinds don't keep out the sun and it gives me this terrible headache.
I feel like I'm complaining but I really do feel horrid. And yet at the same time, incredibly thankful that we have the means to get to doctors and such...

FA+

But I'm SO glad that you're confident you'll recover! And, though you can't really enjoy it at the moment, it's really great that your vision is back! ^.^
Feel better soon!
I would second the curtains, or in a pinch just hang up a sheet or quilt or something over the window.
Rice is good as far as food, nice and neutral.
