My vision has been really bad on and off today.  When it is a little better, I then pick up the book I am reading and hold it about 6 to 8 inches from my face.  But at least I can read.  Yesterday morning I again, googled Morphia Scleroderma looking for information on eyes and I could not find anything.  I then put in Morphia Scleroderma eyes and then some links came up.  What I read really upset me.  Enough that I did call my Dermatolgist who is an expert in this disease and I see him on the 21st. It said on one link I read that the vision problems do not happen with Morphia Scleroderma, but only with Systemic.  It said there were two types of Systemic - one is the one that turns your body to stone and the other systemic affects the heart, kidneys, eyes, mouth and vaginal.  I am praying to God that my Morphia has not gone into Systemic.  You do so much trying to get well and then another problem crops up.  I am really sick of the problems as I am sure all Celiacs are.

I saw my GP this past Tuesday and my kidney tests came back normal.  So, I am praying that that means this vision thing could not be Systemic Scleroderma.

It seems I pray a lot.  I hope God is not tired of hearing from me.]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2006 03:53:24 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-242-vision-scleroderma/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-236-vision-scleroderma-google-brain-fog/ The shades are because I am now a celebrity.      This afternoon I have been having brain fog and I know I have not been glutened.  But, I went to the store to get Pizza and on the way there I could not remember how to cook it and what I usually put it on.  On the way home, I remembered that I had two pizza pans.  I just hate it when my brain goes into such hibernation.  If there are spelling errors, I am sorry, but it really is hard to check for errors with my vision problems.  I wish there was spell check on this.]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2006 04:00:34 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-236-vision-scleroderma-google-brain-fog/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-215-i-cant-think-of-one-brain-is-foggy/ Tue, 20 Sep 2005 16:14:23 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-215-i-cant-think-of-one-brain-is-foggy/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-203-emotions/ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 21:56:42 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-203-emotions/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-201-vitamin-testing-results/ Tue, 06 Sep 2005 23:34:07 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-201-vitamin-testing-results/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-196-rash-itching-welts/ ]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2005 22:24:07 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-196-rash-itching-welts/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-187-gluttened-twice-more-blood-tests/ Thu, 25 Aug 2005 22:48:17 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-187-gluttened-twice-more-blood-tests/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-149-gluttened/ ]]> Fri, 12 Aug 2005 21:41:35 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-149-gluttened/ http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-130-tests-results/    .  My blood work was normal with no anemia.  My exhaustion must mean I am still recovering.  The doctor said that my weight loss is from stress.  We moved the end of May and have had MANY problems that the builder has been taking care of and thank goodness we are almost at the end of that list.  He said also having our 17 year old granddaughter living with us has been stressful for me.  And having her Mother live in the area (our daughter) is also additional stress.  A friend noticed that my weight loss started when my granddaughter got lost in the desert on a 114 degree day.  Her cell went dead as she was telling me where they were at and I had to call in search and rescue.  She is fine, but I was so worried and hysterical until she walked out of the desert.  I guess it was a culmination of everything.  So, my relaxing in the area we set aside in the master bedroom is going to take priority in my life.  My husband's health is a different matter.  He had chest X-Rays today to rule out congestive heart failure (which the doctor does not think it is).  He has blood tests on Monday and Monday he starts a rigid dose of water pills that will prevent him from leaving the house for 7 days.  Then he resees the doctor the following Monday.  He also has to see a vascular surgeon in a couple of weeks.  This doctor said that if it is what he thinks it is that it can be corrected.  But, if he had let this go on, he would have lost his legs.  For over 20 years I have had him into a couple of doctors and all they gave him was a few water pills.  This time was the worst I have seen.  He looked like he had Elephantitis.  It was unbelievable.  Thank goodness it got that bad or I would not have been able to get him back to a doctor.  I could not believe that he went and had the chest X-Rays today without me having to drag him.  I am also changing my hand soap and face soap, etc.  My lipstick is already gluten free (Avon).  But, I am having a hard time trying to find a gluten-free mouthwash.I went to Whole Foods on Wednesday after I had my tooth repaired (broke off).  I had a wonderful list of new items that I have acquired on this site.  I tried Tinkyada Pasta for the first time and that beats the others I have tried.  I made a cold pasta salad to go with the gluten-free cooked chicken I got at Whole Foods.  My husband even liked it.  Now if I could just find a few more of the items that Whole Foods did not have.  But, I will probably find they are East Coast only.  I am going to check out the internet for those things.   ]]> Sat, 06 Aug 2005 00:20:57 +0000 http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/29/entry-130-tests-results/
