So I'm currently trying really hard to come off meds and find different ways of coping with my HA.
I'm taking some exercise and eating healthily, have joined a slimming group and signed up for CBT so I'm hopefuly I can learn how to deal with this without medication.
Thing is I have one little niggly thing and I wanted to post to see if anyone else can relate to it.
I keep thinking I need to go for an eye test purely because I haven't been for years, I have floaters but I've had them for years and they aren't there all the time, but apart from that my eyesight seems ok.
Thing is I'm absolutely petrified of an eye test, I know they can detect lots by the health of your eyes and I'm sure this is just the good old HA but I'm sure that I'm going to be told I have eye cancer or something else bad.
Everyone thinks I'm mad but I just can't shake this fear and wondered if anyone else was scared of eye tests. I know serious eye disorders such as cancer are rare but because I haven't been for so long my brain is saying well if you have something it will be fatal because your eyes haven't been checked for years.
I hate this HA overall I feel like I'm doing better but there's always something niggling!
