Renee went to the Opthamologist and was diagnosed with inflamed corneas. She also has seriously dry eyes, which could each be factors of the other. She has steroid drops to use 3X's a day and tear drops to use as often as she wants. She goes back on Monday to see if this has helped.

Still not sure...

Well, Renee was doing better when we got her off of her extra dosage of medicine. Her vision improved, but it has not returned to normal. She still is only 20/30 with a new contact prescription. We have ruled out the MG and other neurological disease they suspected could be the culprit. Everything they rule out makes us feel a little better. There were some scary diagnosis(es) floating around. Her blood has been tested this week to make sure she is at the right level on her medication, and the Dr. said her results were perfect.

So, why can't she see consistently? She has light sensitivity and her vision vacillates between clearish to fuzzy. We are taking her to an Opthamologist on Monday morning. We hope he will have an answer/solution/diagnosis for her. We have read on-line of symptoms of too much of her medication. Those symptoms really fit what she is experiencing. We've read that it can take up to 6 months for the effects to wear off or they could never. There could be swelling in her brain putting pressure on her optic nerves. She did have a CT scan of her head when this all started and nothing showed up.

Sorry, no cute bunny pictures.
