Having a massive attack, just want somewhere to whinge about it really, but any advice is appreciated.
First started 18m ago. It has swapped sides now and is a million times worse. None of my meds are touching it, on my third alternate prescription from the gp (gabapentin>tegretol>pregablin). My eyes have gone 'funny', my optician said i had double vision at my last appt (this time last year) but again, during this attack (started back in nov) they are so much worse, i struggle to read anything as the words are all jumbly. Plus it almost seems like my vision in one eye is greyer than the other when they are both open, though this goes when i close the okay eye. When i am having an attack, i often cannot open my eye on that side.
It is sore all of the time, and i'm having full on attacks then that last well over the two mins i have been told they should. I have no idea how often they come (will try to keep track perhaps) but its been so bad i have spent the last four days in bed, and spent a good chunk of time before xmas there too. Dr said last time i saw her that if it continues she will refer to neuro at my next appt. So as it is still continuing (though fingers always crossed i will actually be better before i can get there) i'm planning to see the optician first so i can have a quantifiable number of 'worseness' for that to go in and give to her.
Btw, i have seen my dentist, my teeth are fine. I do have a long list of other crap wrong with me though 😕
