Hi @dablues, You are in a most challenging time. Is there family or someone who can help you shoulder some of this burden? Double vision is not normal. Tell your primary care doctor you are overwhelmed. Give your concerns to God each morning in prayer. Know that people care about you and your situation. Know that each day you are doing your best, that's all you can expect of yourself. Ask that your primary care doctor refer you to a Rheumatologist for evaluation .You have put things in motion, let them play out.
Build a support system around you, to take care of you. Ask for help in the social services department of the hospital, tell them of your situation, your concerns
and how to best handle some of these life altering events. I feel your concerns, there will not be immediate answers to some of your questions and that's OK. Your focus is only on today, not yesterday and not tomorrow. If focusing on today is too much, then only focus on whats in front of you each moment.
I hope to hear from you again. Keep us all posted.
