I have just looked at previous posts of mine and in April this year, I wrote about having exactly the same eye problem as I have now - blurriness/shadow type feeling on my left eye. That time, when an optician told me that there was nothing wrong with my eyes, I believed her and the symptoms gradually went away, mainly because I wasn't obsessing about it all the time.
I saw an optician nearly a week ago with the same symptoms but I don't seem to believe him!! I have seen a doctor too who thinks it is to do with long term problems on my left side with sinusitis, tinnitus and glue ear (also a mucked up wisdom tooth extraction on that side). But the symptoms just keep getting worse!!! I am obsessively checking my sight in both eyes, staring at myself in the mirror. My eyes feel tired and sore - the muscles around them ache and I feel like I am frowning all the time.
I don't understand why I felt better before and not this time!! Surely, I keep telling myself, a brain tumor wouldn't disappear for 8 months only to return suddenly in December. Surely, an optician would see if there was a problem, even indications of a medical problem and refer me to a doctor. I can't see that. I can't stop thinking that this will never go away.
I just keep thinking that this will ruin my Christmas and then I sit here crying!! I don't know what to do. :weep:
