Great news

Praise God for that great news. On your headaches :: Do you wear glasses ? Do you have any allergies ? Reason I'm asking is My hubby wears glasses and he always gets bad headaches when he needs an up- date test on his vision or if his lens isn't right ( someone making a little mistake can damage the eyes) also he has to take over the counter medicine for allergies cause he gets really bad headaches when that certain time of the year comes along.

Just got home from the eye doctor. Good news there, too. Just some progressing cataracts which at my age are not unusual. Thank you for your reply.

Great news . Yep know what you mean my hubby is a OT truck driver and he also is starting that type of eye problem . Good luck

Absolutely!! I have allergies and need a updated eye exam. Don't think it's a thing else!!

[FtB_Peggy]

Wonderful! Thank you for letting us know!

[Mytwins02]

The BEST news ever!!!!

[Zoolog_64]

Praise God Lady !!! Like I said before your headache may be caused by allergies or you could have a sinus infection. My hubby gets bad headaches when his allergies act up and when he has a sinus infection. Praying you'll find the source soon.

The doctor thinks its a migraine that just wouldn't go away. He treated it as such and now it's much better. Thank you for your reply.

[Zoolog_64 in reply to JeanE41]

That is awesome !! Did he tell you next time you get one to go into a dark room lay down with a cold wash rag over your eyes and rest until it goes away. lol Have a great day JeanE41

Woohoo! I love it when I hear results like this -- Stable and NED are now too of my favorite things -- I am also currently NED it's awesome -- I'm still very fatigued, (I also have Fibromyalgia) which I'm sure plays a huge part in this...but that's okay...I can handle the fatigue...!

Hope you find the answer to you headaches and are feeling much better soon!!

I too have fibromyalgia. It can be a pain in the anywhere. It's bearable, but sometimes the fatigue is difficult to deal with. My Dr. put me on gabapenin which helps with the pain and ibs. I just take it one day at a time.

Thank you for your input. I too love NED and stable.

[ThePurplePlace in reply to JeanE41]

I feel for you! -- I been in the Fibro battle for over 15 years now, the pain can be horrific at times, took me many years to figure it all out and then more time to find the best treaments. I'm so happy that you are doing well and happy that Gabapentin works well for you - No such luck for me, nor did I do well with Lyrica, Cymbalta or Savella. A few years back I went through an entire Summer of horrible migraine-like headaches -- after many consults and tests it was finally determined to be muscular and was from awful neck pain and muscle spasms -- also had a pinched nerve a few months before. I have some spurring in my C-Spine and Degenerative Disc Disease too --- I hit 40 and fell apart?? I ended up going to PT, had ultrasound, heat and massage and it finally resolved the headaches. Luckily I now have a Duragesic Patch (have for years) and it's been a life saver, keeps most of my FIbro pain well-controlled! Sorry you are also battling both illnesses, it's a challenge - but it's wonderful to be NED and like you, I've learned to live one day at a time! Some are definitely better than others! Take care and hope you stay NED forever!!!

PS: i developed a Cataract in my left eye very suddenly last year and come to find out it was not age, but due to the steroids I had been taking when I was on chemo and for a brain met. I had surgery and now have wonderful vision in that eye. I have a slight one in my right eye, but it's not enough for surgery and I'm now off Steroids, so I hope it should be fine. I'm Stage IV NSCLC and started with a brain met (3/27/15)-- thankfully that was quickly treated by Cyberknife and has never returned. You take care!!

[JeanE41 in reply to ThePurplePlace]

It's amazing how many things can go wrong in the human body and yet we go on. You hang in there Lisa. All that has occurred has only made us stronger. Take care.
