two steps back.....
So it turns out that the dizziness, one sided headache and upset tummy feeling
is not blood pressure related or drug withdrawal related.
I saw my Optometrist today (just for a routine check-up - I want to replace my
scratched lenses and I thought I'd have an eye test while I was there)
It appears my BIH is back :( Sad, sad, face.
I document everything in my diary on a twice-daily basis, so I know exactly when it started.
(1.5 weeks ago)
Just not sure why it's come back.
I feel kind of stupid for not putting it together in my head - I was stunned when he told me
that he could see swelling. Was not expecting that at all.
I did have a fleeting thought to ask my GP about BIH when the headache started,
but didn't follow through.
Next step is Neuro-Ophthalmologist next week. (privately so I don't have to wait)
I could use all of your positive thoughts and prayers that I don't have to go through another
Lumbar Puncture or hospital stay *tears*
