@rwinney. Thanks for taking the time to respond and the recommendations are spot on. I tend to ruminate over if I hurt someone’s feelings, could have done something better etc. I can only use my eyes a short period of time. Unfortunately the suspicion of the most recent specialist is that LP is also now in one of my ears and on my scalp, could even be in my nose based on symptoms and initial visits to drs. Not a pretty way to end up but I sure hope when it get too bad I am offered something to kill the nerve pain. I went through a 4 hour stretch today where my eyes had a deep, deep pain and I was spasming so my husband had to attend to me. The dark bedroom was too bright for me so I had to wear sunglasses. I was so worried no one would respond or support me - everyone here has serious issues. I lost the use of my legs last night while starting to do laundry and they didn’t become useful again this morning but then the all over spasms started. I keep asking my husband to videotape it because doctors don’t believe me. Oh well, I am so uplifted and can’t thank you enough!

I believe you. It sounds as if your command center aka central nervous system is on overdrive. Try to stay calm and strong, and hang on tight. Maybe you and your husband can devise a plan of what and when you can do things. If your eyes or legs are fighting you, don't fight back. Work smarter, not harder. Use moderation and modification to squeeze the best time and ability out. Patience and acceptance is a difficult thing to come by, but if you work on calming this storm in your body, I think you will feel some benefit.

@bustrbrwn22 I have not been posting much on this thread, but read the posts. This is a great idea, to have your husband video your spasms and all the issues. How can a medical dr refuse to address an issue they can visibly see when it happens? Put it on a spare thumb drive, that can be played back on his laptop, and become part of your medical records. Save a copy for yourself, too!

You have a lot of people on your side!
