Hello everyone, just thought I stop by and give you an update. Well I went to see the doctor the following Monday and I had an ear infection in both ears and a sinus infection. He put me on 2000mg of anti-biotics for 10 days along with anti-depressants.
After day 7 of the anti-depressant pills I was in worse shape. I lost 20 pounds in one week and I was afraid of going outside. I would start shaking when I opened the door. Anyway I also started having eye pain so I read up on the pills I was taking and the side affects scared me even more! So I stopped taking them. After a few days being off the pills I was eating normal again and didnt feel as depressed and my eye pain went away.
but anyway as of today I still have the sparkles in my vision, mainly in my peripheral vision. I only notice them during the day outside and inside under bright lights and white walls, at work basically. If I keep busy though I dont notice them. Im still depressed but have the will again to go to work and try to have a life. I almost lost my job because of this bout of depression.
Im comforted with the fact that I still can have a life indoors and outside at night. Though I cant get the thoughts out of my head about the sparkles and the fear of more serious problems with my eyes in the future. I did go to the optomologist and they checked my eyes out and everything was fine, even my eye pressure. They said the sparkles will go away in time, but I think that was their "default" answer. It depresses me feeling I might have to live with this for the rest of my life.
But I do have hope that there will be a cure for floaters in the near future or at least a more safer method of surgery. I also hope once that day comes that the sparkles will be less or gone completely. Or if not perhaps the memory erasing pills could cure this. If what we see is because our brain is trained to see it, wouldnt erasing that memory fix it? Just a thought.
Anyway happy new years to everyone, and eyeissues I look forward to seeing your website up soon. Im definetly going to donate and get the word out! One cure at a time right?
