I don't know what the heck is going on with me. On top of the other symptoms I have, a couple of months ago my vision got wierd. I could swear I had stuff on my glasses because everything looked like it had a film on it, but glasses were clean. Also, for a few minutes at a time, things (especially white things) took on a light pinkish color. This has come and gone from time to time since.
Yesterday I had a good day. Maybe I was in front of the computer too long, I don't know... Anyway, about 5:30 I suddenly got a terrible headache between my eyes. I can't tell if its in on top, inside, or behind my eyes. An hour later I took a relaxing hot shower. Well, I guess that was a big mistake. When I got out I was so dizzy! I tried to go about my night and ignore it. I hate talking about what's going on with me because my poor boyfriend can't take it. He gets so stressed about me because we don't know what's going on. Other times I think he thinks I am making it all up (going bonkers). He's an ICU nurse and so, bless his heart, he thinks he knows everything. He is extremely knowledgeable, but he refuses to think it's anything neurological...
Okay, I'm off topic.
Anyway, I was so dizzy. I fell in the kitchen. I fell over my daughters bed after I leaned down to kiss her good night, stood back up, and began to walk away. I fell into the wall in the bathroom. This is kinda' worrying me because I've never gotten this dizzy before. Also, as this happened, all my sesory stuff started going crazy. I had heavyness and tingling in my legs. Also really bad pain in one area of my left leg. My head felt like it was crawling... To top it all off, I started seeing that pink hue on everything again.
Does anyone else see pink or wierd stuff? Sometimes I can't tell what is wrong with my eyes, I can only tell that I'm not seeing normally. I don't know if it's better, worse, or what. Stuff just looks far away or wierd... I already have eye problems (I was born with cateracts and developed nystagmus as an infant).
If I get too much dizzier I should probably go to the hospital, especially since I don't have a dx for anything yet. I just hate to go... They're so mean to me! I haven't been in over six months, but whenever I would go for the pain (my first symptom), they pretty much figured I was there for pain meds. I even refused pain meds once. the doctor was such a jerk. He said "yeah, you might have MS. You probably need an MRI." bla bla... He wouldn't order one, though! He said he didn't have access to that (right... what kind of idiot do you think I am? You're in a freakin' hospital). So he was going to send me on my way and then I did ask for something for pain, and he told me, "I can't prescribe narcotics." What??? I wanted to challenge him and say "wow, what did you do wrong that they took away your privelidge? All doctors are supposed to be able to do that." What a jerk
- So I don't want to go back. THen again, something bad could be going on... They could give me a dx....
Thanks for letting me share.
