Thanks for Asking
Thanks to those of you who have emailed to ask how the hospital appointment went.
The answer is – it went! It actually took longer waiting for the tablets the doctor prescribed than it did to see the doctor. (1 hour and 5 minutes to be exact!)
In a nutshell, he agreed with the initial diagnosis, acknowledged that Kay knew how to deal with it, (agreeing with her “just keep going” method of treatment) and suggested some tablets to take. These tablets have a huge list of side effects (Some conflicting ones, and some are what the tablets are supposed to cure – how silly is that!)
Because of the side effects, Kay has to start taking them at a low dose, and then put them up after 4 weeks until they either work, or it’s obvious they won’t work. (It could take up to 6 weeks to see any improvement) At that point the doctor suggests another review of her eyes to see if there is another problem or damage to the muscles there. I think that sums it up!
With our holiday imminent, and the nurse in Kay knowing that air travel can accent some of the side effects of these sorts of tablets, she is hoping they don’t send her a bit “doo-lally” on the plane! Steve thinks it might be fun if they do!!!
