Well I posted on 3.14 I was having and MRI. I had one of my brain to see what is going on and how much pressure is on my eye... now let's take you back a week before. I started to have stops in my vision. I didn't think anything of them cause they started at night and went away for the morning that was except til Friday 3.11 I had them all day and continued through. I still have them. basically I may have these the rest of my life or I may not... I am hoping not cause it makes it hard to do anything on my phone... and it is terribly hard to do much that requires focusing too much. On 3.14 I was diagnosed with papilledema of the optic nereve. With this I hope so much I won't need surgery and that the horse pills I am on will help... essentially at the appointment it was difficult to sit through. I first sat in Dr. Babcock office, then he noticed my eye nerves were swollen sent me to Mccann. I did an optical field test and retina test all while my eyes were all ready dilated and hard for me to see in the first place... After all of that I went in to talk to mccan and he looked in my eye and said it was papilledema of an optic nerve. I had my MRI scheduled for 5:30 and took my anxiety med at 4:30. I waited till 8:15 and finally got back to the tech. Wednesday he told me he sent info to the people at community.
In the days that followed I had a spinal tap done at community medical center in Missoula MT. The first nurse who was a male country accent and seemed like he was flanoyently gay, on would assume. But since my spinal as near lunch he was on rotation. He had informed me he would be with me through the entire procedure. That was incorrect and as soon I was carted back to the prep area I was alone and vulnerable. As soon as the doc stuck the needle in my back I cringed. And my whole body shook, they finally got me a nurse who was catching up with paper work to come and calm me down because the doc needed me to be calm. They pulled 30cc of spinal fluid. Measured the amount and found it was way more then normal. I was released and finally home. But I will never forget how I was treated at Community Medical Center in Missoula MT. At that point further I vowed to never get any procedure done there unless absolutely necessary.
