I'm a graphic designer. I live in a tiny town with the closest big city being about 2 hours away. There are very few jobs, especially after the students come back (the university I graduated from is in the next town over, about 8 miles from where i live).
I'm hoping to try out a new CPAP mask to see if it makes a difference. I'm so freakin tired. I wonder if the dizziness could be because of the lack of sleep instead of the cyst? My doc seems to think it's the cyst though.
What I thought was strange is that when the neurologist told me I had a cyst, she thought it was no big deal, but when my regular doc's office got the MRI results, they FRANTICALLY called me and let me know they wanted to put me on antibiotics...and now they referred me to an ear-nose-throat specialist to figure out what to do about the cyst.
So apparently my neurologist thinks it's dismissable, but my regular doc doesn't...hrrmm.
Did I also mention that my eye doc thinks I have glaucoma? Last time I went in, they detected thinning in my optic nerve, and I'm going back in for tests in September - if my pressures go up, then they're starting me on treatment for glaucoma . My mom has it as well.
There could be a chance that the cyst is putting pressure on my optic nerve, emulating glaucoma. I'm a bit worried I'll lose my sight. My eyes have been deteriorating.
I feel like I'm falling apart, physically and mentally. I'm too young for this!
The Lamictal is treating me well so far - I do feel a bit hypomanic from it though. It's a bit more difficult to fall asleep, but I like the antidepressant qualities in it.
