got into opthamologist! gonna try for abx!

[IndigoRiley]

I got into an appt for tomorrow ophthamologist! Thankyou for suggesting it! &i Btw u guys are GREAT! THIS COMMUNITY IS AMAZING! &sooo helpful! Will the opthamologist actually be able to tell if the Lyme has affected my eyes? I hope so bc it most definitely has! What should expect or be prepared for? Like how do i get him to give me antibiotics?

[IndigoRiley]

I hope so too! Like I said I have had double vision, blurred vision for a little over a year now. It gets pretty bad some days. I am excited about this appt and I sure do hope he finds something that can prove once and for all that I have Lyme Disease! Wishful Thinking I know..

I have no idea..but I am running  low on antibiotics and I was gonna try and to make a possible ER run but then I remembered I had a referral from a couple mos ago due to my eye issues (blurred vision, double vision, light sensitivity). And someone on here(I believe cave..sry if it was someone else my brainfog has kicked in along with my child not listening to me or going to sleep right now, and I can no longer "multitask" like before, and I get irritable with little noises that distract me which just plain ***** bc I feel like it is affecting my parenting) Anyway, I don't know what kind he will give me but I haven't found an LLMD so I am hoping maybe this guy will see signs of Lyme in my eyes..? Hopefully.

YES go to the eye dr for SURE! And oh man I sure can relate to everything u say! Our medical history and issues in general really seem to be in sync! I have a hard time reading bc its hard to get the words to come into focus. and so yeah, I have become a slower reader due to my vision issues. But yes, see that dr for sure! I have heard they take lyme seriously(u are soo lucky u have an LLMD! I wish I could find one!) and can maybe tell u have Lyme from your eyes..I am hoping..?

[IndigoRiley]

Yes..It is like santa is coming early! An LLMD is what this girl REALLY wants tho! :( But I am thankful and just praying this guy knows a little something about lyme and wont blow me off like everyone else! Thanks for the Tips! Will do! :)

[IndigoRiley]

That is amazing u are getting it treated now!!! Awesome! I hope this leads me in the right direction or something good comes from it! I just need to get this ball rolling bc I cant keep being a "antibiotic seeker" that I am..they are catching on..lol. But they help soooooo much! Ugh why does it have to be so hard. Just hoping this will be a step in the right direction!

Yes, do see the ophthalmologist -- no other doc knows enough about eyes to be able to treat them.  Of all the many docs I saw when I was pre- and post- diagnosis, the ophthalmologist was right at the top (with my LLMD) in taking it seriously.  Call tomorrow for an appointment, okay?  

Keep us posted -- you're on your way!
