It started a couple of weeks ago when I started having pain with eye movement in my right eye. At the time I didn't think anything about it and thought it would eventually go away on its own. Then I started noticing a difference in my vision. I was loosing clariety and color. So I went in to see the optometrist to have him check me out. He dialated my eyes and told me that my optic nerve in my right eye was inflammed and that was the reason I was having pain and loosing my vision. He recommends me to a neurologist so I can find out what is going on. By the time I get in to see the neurologist I can only see vague outlines of where things are in my right eye and no color. I was getting really worried. He tells me that I need to be put in the hospital and put on intraveinous steroids to get the inflammation down, a stat MRI scan, blood tests and a chest x-ray. The reason for all this is because the inflammation of the optic nerve can be an earily warning sign of MS. Which is the disease that attacks the fatty stuff around your nerves that insulate them and stop them from working ever again. They wanted to be sure there were no leasions or tumors in my brain causing the inflammation. So now I'm pretty much freaking out. I was in the hospital for four days getting 250mg of steroids every 6 hours. The good thing is though my MRI came back normal. So no leasions or tumors in my brain, but the doctor wants to do a lumbar puncture to test my spinal fluid to make 100% certain I don't have MS. I get to see him again on the 29th.

Well onward to some good news. I will be on vacation June 29 - July 7. Finally some vacation time! ^_^ I'm also using my Wacom Bamboo tablet I got last year. I started a gift art for my BFF Jennifer of her Gaia Online avatar. I'm going to be working on the color here soon so hopefully it won't suck.
