"Thyroid Eye Disease?" or Other Issues from Medications or what??


I've been having vision problems for months. I went and had my annual eye visit. They check my vision once a year due to one of the medications I take for Lupus. 


I mentioned it to my PCP. He is suggesting a different Ophthalmologist to see what's going on. I fear I'm losing my vision!! I have double vision again. I am always "off" when I type. I have always been able to spell incredibly and type correctly, but my typing has gone to hell. 


Here I am, a writer/author, and I need to not only write here more, but I also NEED TO COMPLETE 3 other books. I have one poetry book nearly ready TO PUBLISH! I cannot sit long enough because I get frustrated with either having double vision or closing my left eye to see. I went and had new glasses made. Then I had another pair made with blue light blockers in them. Sometimes, I could look at the computer screen too long, causing my eye issues. 

I am still not seeing correctly up close. It is not my far-off vision, although it is not the greatest; it's the close-up vision that has really gotten bad. I feel my regular ophthalmologist has not found what is really going on. 

I keep thinking it has more to do with my Hashimoto's, or something to do with my adrenal glands and/or thyroid problems. I need to see a neurologist or another specialist, not another eye specialist. 

Our weather has been insane. People ask me why I stay in Texas. I cannot stand most of the weather here: the bugs, the heat, the humidity, too much rain, not enough rain, the ground being mainly clay, which is a nightmare, and our houses moving. I had a huge leak (actually three water leaks) two weeks ago. It cost me over 2,000.00!

We have EVERY KIBD IF ANT, FLY, WATER BUG, SPIDER, YOU NAME IT, WE HAVE IT! From mosquitoes to fire ants! FROM SUGAR ANTS TO EVERY KIND OF SPIDER. 

You must spray, put out, and spread every kind of bug, wasp, and weed killer. It's all expensive, but without it, the bugs will cover you up!

I have been going through the social Masterclass every month since January, so I have attended 6 in total so far. I am really learning A GREAT DEAL more than I knew about the "Hashimoto's," which no doctor bothers to tell you is an AUTOIMMUNE ILLNESS!

I have begun a huge regimen of supplements since January. I want to GET OFF of all of the terrible medications that do not help with my RA! I realize I will have to be on some medicines for the rest of my life. Still, I think if I can get a balance of supplements and proper diet, I can let go of some of them and not have to poison my body with so much of Big Pharma's not truly truthworthy nedications being made so quickly an out out there mainly on  FAST TRACK NOW, I may find myself in a better frame of health and mind. 


Believe me, if I felt I could go back to Seattle or close to my dear friend Aimee in Lancaster CA I would be there!
