Do you feel like your eye sight has been affected?

And yes. I Googled it. As usual, the Google was arguing with itself 

I have noticed how profoundly worse my eye sight is these days. I always had pretty clear vision, and now, I am having some real trouble reading and handling glare on the highway at night.

Now, I realize sobbing every day since May, on top of increased computer time (ahem, BUMP), are contributing to this. But can all the horomonal shifts and crap be doing it as well?

I mean, my hair is falling out and my skin is destroyed. Why not ruin my eyes while we're at it?

Anyone else?

    Aww hun, sounds like you need a vacation.  I'm sorry your hormones are wreaking havoc on your skin and hair (I had similar problems post-m/c, and now my hair is permanently thinner).  I think the computer time is probably the culprit for your eyes, but it could just be a normal thing that happens over time.  Maybe get them checked?  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope things look up for you soon.  ((((hugs))))

    My eyes were always bad. I have worn glasses since I was 9. But yes, I think overall I have gone down the tubes. I think it is from stress and no matter how much you try to relax, there is always something that is stressful.

    Yeah, I know. I've just been spending so much $$ on the bills from the m/c, that spending more for eye exam, glasses, etc. frosts my cookies. But I guess I'm going to have to suck it up. That whole "being a grown up thing." Blech.

    Thank you for the hugs! I need them, always.

    Anytime you need a hug, I'll send it through the computer for you.  

    One other thing on the eyes - my physical therapist (unrelated to m/c) has me do eye "exercises" from time to time.  Cover one eye with a hand then hold a pen or something else with a fine tip with the other hand and hold it out at arms length.  Then move the pen from side-to-side, up and down, all the way across your whole range of vision, making sure to cross the mid-line so the eye gets a full range of motion workout.  Then repeat with the other eye.  The tracking exercise wakes up the nerves in the eye and gets them working again.  It's easier if the background in the room is not busy so your eye can focus just on the pen tip and not stuff going on in the background.  Does this explanation make sense?  It can't hurt, it's free, and it might help until you can get in for an eye exam.

    It does make sense; the eye is a muscle, and this sounds like a way to strengthen it. Thanks, I'll try it!

    Totally have everything you just described.  My hair falls out so much.  We had to buy a cover for the shower bc it was clogging the shower.  My hair has been found in dh's and the boys food.  I finally switched shampoos and it seems like it's working.  I use to use Herbal Essence but I switched over to Pantene and I really like it.

    I switch back and forth with the skin issues too.  My skin is really dry and will break out every now and then.

    I also have the eye issues.  It has been causing some headaches too, and when I drive it makes me a little dizzy. But not dizzy dizzy just an odd perception.  I've started wearing my glasses from 4 years ago and it helps a little but its still pretty bad!

    Dude.  My body is messed the eff up.  Someone pointed out to me that 6w5d + 10w5d + 5w = nearly half the year pregnant.

    Awesome, huh?  I've been pregnant for over 20 weeks this year and I've got crappy eyesight and pizza face to show for it.

    Welcome to the world, Baby Grr!
