For reals, this is a short post this time. Here’s the rundown:
Doctor thinks severe dry eyes are causing my blind spots. Yes, I legit have blind spots, she confirmed. She’s not taking them very seriously, which gives me major anxiety as you can get permanent vision loss from them. I also have the beginnings of cataracts even though I’m still in my 30s. In about 10 years I’ll need surgery for them.
Apparently I have a spot on one of my eyes that needs to be checked yearly to make sure it doesn’t turn into fucking eye cancer. Luckily that’s unlikely to happen (knock on wood…)
I’m finally on birth control for my endometriosis. No periods anymore but I get my usual pelvic pain every fucking day now for some reason. I feel like my endo is fighting the birth control and the end result is on and off again ovary and pelvic shit. Whatever, I can deal with it if I have to.
I’m on week 2 of my tumor meds. So far it’s going unexpectedly well compared to last time. I get some minor headaches sometimes and sometimes my nose gets stuffy (a side effect, of course). But at least I feel functional and somewhat normal!
My mom didn’t die! She actually got better out of the blue!
I get my prolactin levels retested in late October to see how much the meds are working and we’ll take next steps from there. If it’s helping, then she’ll probably leave my dosage alone, which I would be really happy with. If not, she’ll have to increase it, which would majorly suck. I’m just happy to have the drama died down, for now. Yay! Finally, a non-depressing blog post!
