I just recently was discharged from the hospital for the 5th time. A minor set back. The really odd part of this admission is that the doctor found a new condition. pseudotumor cerebri. Otherwise know as a false brain tumor. The cause they think was exposure to radiation from when I was in the military. Turns out I had four mini strokes the week before I went in for help and have now lost vision in my left eye. The only good thing is that most of my illness can be attributed to this condition. The bad news is that it is so rare there is no cure just carefull monitoring. Plus one of the major side effects is blindness. I am a little sad about this but I am still clinging to my hope.
