Need to share with you..

I felt I share this with you guys because I was wondering if any of you had this problem too. I want to read what every-ones discussion is no matter if its advice or a recommendation or what ever. But I have a problem if I have to read more then 3 paragraphs. I find it hurts so much to read more than that. So when I saw one on a new Book she had got as a gift. I felt I ask if anyone else has this problem? I have been to an eye Doctor and he doesn't feel I have any serious problems as of yet but having fibro effects my eyes a lot. See my fibro { I hate to say that} attacks mostly my neck,face,mouth,eyes,and brain. So when I want or need to read something it hurts and then I have to go back and read again than it hurts more??? Even know writeing this to you is taking a while just to finish cause I want to be sure the letters and words are right.. LOL But it takes me a long time to read anything so I miss a lot of good stuff I am sure..

Fibro has affected my eyesight. It gets worse and then is better for awhile. Go figure. I went out and got a stronger RX for reading glasses. Sometimes the new glasses are perfect, and other times I use the weaker ones. I have no pain though.

But this being a disease that has screwd up our nervous system, I think anything can happen as far as wierd pains.

But you do need to have this checked out by an ophthamologist. Maybe that is the kind of doc you already went to.

Good luck, Kiska.
Gentle hugs, sue

I have been wondering about this myself. My eyes have gotten worse the past few months. I'm wondering how much worse they will get. It's really scary. I'm sorry you all are having such a hard time.

I hate this teeny, tiny font! I have good eyesight up close but need glasses for distance. I wish there was a way to change the font size here.

Kiska,
Micki knows how to make fonts bigger and wish I could remember how I did it for all web pages? Start menu/ control panel/ internet options/ fonts... I forget after that... darn fog!

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
