Important Lesson

No one knows our bodies better than each person themselves. The most important lesson to learn and live by is, if you know in your heart-of-hearts that something is wrong, do not give up searching until you find the answer. There IS an answer out there, but sometimes it takes a while to find if it is not staring you right in the face.

I saw the ophthalmologist today, and that was $20 actually well spent. I finally have PART of an answer: I have inflammation of the optic nerve, potentially optic neuritis, which was what I suspected from the start. I have another MRI coming up so hopefully will get the rest of the puzzle pieces soon. I don’t particularly care for the picture forming with those puzzle pieces, but having a complete picture will be a lot easier to live with, deal with, and help me move on with my life.

Can you feel my sense of relief, like a 10,000-pound weight being lifted from my broad but tired shoulders?
