I do wear dark glasses and a baseball cap when I go in the stores to help with the light, then I get eye strain because the dark glasses make things to dark to see properly..

I have tried many thing with the computer monitor, on this one I can change the background color to black but the writing is a odd blue color that makes it hard to read...so I get eye strain.. Right now I am trying a sheet of that window darkening stuff just laid across the monitor and it helps but not enough..

The problem is not just with the glare and bright lights but the eyes.. The MAV makes your vision go wacky, in and out, blurry and then good, you never know... I have been to the eye doctor early into all this thinking it was a vision/eye problem and I have seen him twice and it is not my eyes, it is the MAV causing the problems.. The medication will help if and when we can find the right one and the right dose (I hear) but that is trial and error. Found one that worked great with the vision, it only worked for 3 weeks then stopped working..

You wouldn't believe how people stare at a old lady wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses inside the stores and in public places... I hate wearing caps too, never did like wearing hats but you have to do what ever helps... That glare is like a complete system overload and throws everything out of wack so I stagger and bump into walls and stuff... downright funny! Standing still I can get motion sickness of all things... This has been going on since October and seems to be getting worse as time does on. I wouldn't believe any of this if I wasn't living it every day!

Oh, Laura, it's spring - get yourself a great big spring/summer bonnet, and then let 'em stare!

So Laura, you now have two repurposed children beds?
So sorry for your trial.

HUGS! Oh Laura, prayers for the right and great med to be found soon!

And poor dear Boo...are the tumours benign? Is there any kind of laser type procedure that might bring them down in size or remove them?

More prayers for dear Lady Boo.

Laura, I'm sorry to hear that you're still having health problems. Hopefully you'll be able to find the right meds and dose that will help you. I'm also sorry to hear about Boo. Did your vet mention polyps at all? Some cats get them and they can be removed but if you don't get to the root then they usually grow back again. I wonder if pred would help to reduce the inflammation and size of them. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both of you.

Caramella sure is getting big and she's so pretty. It's so cute that your cats now have their own bed and that they love it so much. Sometimes I wish that I could have my bed all to myself too. Please take care. You are very missed here. (((HUGS)))

Dear Laura, it is so good to see you back here, but I'm so sorry to learn of all you are having to contend with now. Many prayers are being said for you and Boo and all your family there. Thank you for the nice pictures of the kitties.

Big {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} and ~~~~~~~PURRS~~~~~~~ to you,
Love, Pat and cats

All I have done with Boo so far is that first vet visit where we treated it as an infection.. I am planning to make her an appointment with the main vet, let him look at her, discuss it with her and see what he thinks we should do... He KNOWS how we are about our fur kids and was the one treating Rie's Sparky... He has gotten so many panicked phone calls from us over the years, especially lately over Sparky... he KNOWS how we are...
