I went to the Doctor yesterday afternoon and….
My optic nerves are finally BACK TO NORMAL!

YAY! YAY! YAY!

I didn’t see that one coming. Not.At.All.
Because I still see all the nasty haze in my vision.
Yep. All of it.
And the Doctor has zero clue if it will go away.
He says that it “might” but that it “might” be “a while”…
Or… the damage “might” be permanent.

And.
This also means that the EVIL medication actually worked.
EW.
I HATE the EVIL medication. And I was really, really looking forward to flushing the remainder of the bottle straight down to Hades… but, alas, that is not going to happen.
However, I do get to “taper down a bit”. Apparently this means that I get to take a little less of the EVIL than I have been and see how I do over the next three months. Hmmm….

Whatever. I’ll take it.
And I guess I’ll take the diagnosis of Pseudotumor and wear it proudly, even though it totally sounds fake.
Because. The medication worked! (Holy CRAP! Something worked on me!) I am NOT going to go slowly blind! I am ELATED. And I only care a little bit if the vision damage is permanent. Just as long and the damage has STOPPED. Just as long as the headaches have stopped and the balance issues have stopped. I’ll take the haze and the weird sounding diagnosis…. As long as it really is over. As long as I really don’t have to worry about this anymore.

Because.
Didn’t you know?
I am SO DONE with ALL the health stuff.
And today was SO great to be able to check one off of the list.

Now…. If only this relapse of RSD would just go away I would be…..
Well, I would be just this side of “normal”…
Which would be NEW.

**I am so happy to have normal optic nerves again!**
YAY for treatable Pseudotumor!
