Re: [Paddlewise] Sickness on the Water

Doug, have you had your eyes checked for Glaucoma?  I'm guessing yes but I
want to make sure.  8-)  If yes you might want to get them checked again
and regularly.  Heck we ALL should do that anyway.

Blurred vision, bad headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc are also some of the
symptoms for Glaucoma.  Well, for Glaucoma that HAS symptoms which is what
makes the illness so dangerous.  Most Glaucoma cases don't have any real
symptoms, you just slowly go blind.

My wife, who is fairly young and white, has a form of Glaucoma that has
symptoms and even more strange particulars.  After being incompetently
treated for years by several doctors/specialists, costing her quite a bit
of her vision, she now has been correctly diagnosed and is being treated
successfully.  But her case is very unusual and I'm sure her Dr. at UNC
will use her as a case study some day.  Glaucoma usually hits older
populations and for some reasons blacks suffer more from the illness than
whites.  Which is why my wife's case is so unusual.

But the symptoms you describe are the same ones for some types of Glaucoma.
'Course the same symptoms are also what a women might feel during labor.
Are you Preggo Doug?  8-)

So watch them EYES!  8-)

I'm not a doctor, I don't play one on TV, and I have not slept in whatever
hotel that makes one a genius.  8-)

Later....
