I got a letter from the hospital today. With an appointment date for the secondary cataract exam. December 10th. And if the doctors approve then I’ll get the treatment right away. It’s apparently a simple laser dosage. So fingers crossed, it would be nice if I could get it. Even if I can’t expect any real improvements from it. It will just be good to have it done.
In other medical news, I am trying antihistamines at the moment. I still suspect I have a bit of a dust mite allergy thing going on. Some nights I feel like my nose gets blocked. It can make it difficult to sleep. There have been nights where I have had to use nasal sprays. But you’re not supposed to do that of course, it’s bad for your nose. At least the flu ones. And the salt water ones I have tried haven’t really been effective. But now I’ve had three nights on antihistamines and for those three nights I’ve had no nose problems. It sort of comes and goes though, so I can’t be sure that it’s the antihistamines at work or if it’s just coincidence. But so far so good. At some point I will go to the doctor and get tested for asthma and allergies and whatever else there may be. It may also just be an overweight thing, I think I have heard of that. The nose problem usually comes when lying down flat on my back. If I elevate my head enough then it often helps. So I’ll be lying down and my nose will be blocked and then I’ll stand up and it’ll be all clear. Anyway, We’ll see what happens with that.
I’ve been using my eyedrops from the hospital quite a bit lately too. The ones that dilate your pupils. I hadn’t been using them for a long time. But they actually help quite a bit when I’m at the computer. It is nice to have white text appear white. Instead of dark or yellow.
I am using so many kinds of medications and herbal remedies and eyedrops and pills and vitamins and supplements and so on and so forth. I should buy myself a medicine cabinet.
A robot one.
