The start of 2010

What a grande way to start the new year....sense my sarcasm? Here's the deal:

My eyes have been bigging the crap out of me the past few months and they seem to get worse. My left pupil is still larger and I continue to get Migraines behind my eyes. They last for days. My Migraines just aren't normal Migraines. With having Fibromyalgia, my pain is debilitating and very little alleviates the pain. I'm down for days, my eysight is affected, I'm nauseous, lethargic, hurt all over my body, confused, dizzy and just sick. They wipe me out.
I thought I for sure needed glasses. I went to an eye doctor and had my eyes checked. Surprise, surprise; my vision isn't 20/20 anymore but that wasn't even an issue, according to doc. My eyes are healthy. It's not my eyes. It's something else and Doc was very concerned about my pupil not working like it should. He ordered me bloodwork and an MRI/MRA the very same day to rule out any kind of brain tumors. Now I am to see a Nuero Opthamologist to get more answers. So, my issue isn't getting a pair of contact lenses. It's something Nuerological. Am I surprised? Not really. I practically lived in a Hospital as a Teenager and saw a Nuerologist weekly. Why? Because of having Fibromyalgia. This Autoimmune disorder causes so many freaking symptoms but there's still so many questions to this Disorder. Your Central Nervous System doesn't work properly, transmitting pain throughout the body and causing many symptoms. It's HELL...becuase there's not much you can do about it.
My MRI cam back normal. I have a great brain. My vessels are good. I already knew this but it's part of Dr procedure to so such extensive testings. I'm really upset it's left me even MORE in medical debt. I do have insurance but I have a whopping 1,500 deductable. And I still am trying to pay for my Hernia surgery. It's seriously retarded. Now a Nuero Opthamologist? I'm ready to just decline doc orders for the sake of my sanity! I don't care anymore.
So, this year is starting pretty awesome, I may say.

..boo hisss....sometimes I don't get life.
