Yesterday I met with the neurologist. He suggested the next step should be a spinal tap. He did see some very small, very faint white spots on my brain on the MRI, which could be a start of MS.
I know I have to do the spinal tap - but I am so scared! I am so scared for the pain of it! I am so scared to find out the answers and diagnoses. I know I am so close to getting answers...I know I have to go through with it.
Next Wednesday I am seeing a retinal specialist, and on Thursday I am going to Marshfield clinic to see a neuro-opthamalogist. Getting "my eye" diagnosed has become almost a full-time job. I never would have thought I would be wasting all my vacation time this summer on a stupid eye. This Sunday marks one month since the flashing light and loss of vision began. I just pray there is something they can do to fix it.
