Week 25 One Daily Positive and Project 365 - Migraine and double vision

I've been experiencing double vision since February when I have to focus on anything. General glancing around is fine, but I'm struggling with reading. Opticians said there was no cause for the double vision and sent me away with exercises for 4 weeks before they can make a referral. I've been doing the exercises for a couple of months after googling how to help with this issue, but because the optician didn't formally tell me to do them they can't make a referral, so frustrated. 

168 Saturday Dog walked and we collected child 1 and took her out for coffee and cake and to do some shopping. Toilets in the supermarkets were absolutely disgusting and no hand soap available. not acceptable in a first world country for a global company. Visited grandchild, took mum along for a ride and to do her food shop, then home for dinner and to watch the TV for the evening.


169 Sunday Peter off to play golf and I went to the Three Counties Summer Show. I was dropped off at 8am and it didn't start to fill up till 11am. I was able to walk round in peace and everything was open. By midday though I was home after experiencing the weirdest loss of sensation in my hands and a serious migraine kicked in. I caught the shuttle bus to the train station for one stop, then a short walk home and to bed and sleep for the rest of the day.


170 Monday Off to work via the pool and into Worcester in the afternoon for a bit of shopping and dinner. I baked some cakes for a bake sale at work.


171 Tuesday cycled to work and home, did some washing, placed a click and collect food order and had a company round to measure up for an extension, new doors and fascias. We won\'t be getting the work done until the New Year. Cakes were decorated.

I'm loving these car temps, compared to 57c in Dubai in previous years.


172 Wednesday I took the car to work and had my nails done on my way home. I took my glasses back to the opticians as they've not resolved the issue with the double vision, back tomorrow for a referral to the hospital which is what my Dr requested earlier this month. In the evening I did some cleaning and started preparing the house for a party on the weekend. Video call with friend.

Shed base.


173 Thursday Went swimming on my way to work and took my cakes in for a bake sale. Back to opticians on my way home and evening spent cleaning the conservatory. 

9.40pm, just chilling.


174 Friday Up early as Peter was snoring, watched TV whilst I ironed.Cycled back and forth to work, home to tidy the garden up and get it ready for tomorrow, fingers crossed we don't get any rain. Chips and wine with a friend as usual for a Friday night.

  1. Ugh! It sounds frustrating about your double vision. I hope you get a referral. The loss of sensation in your hands must have been a worry. I used to have that when I had bad migraines and pins and needles down the side of my face. The doctors always said it was just a side effect of the migraine.
    You must be finding it so cool over here compared to the temperatures in Dubai. x

  2. How annoying about the double vision. It's like they don't want to put their name on anything, but surely after all this time you should have a referral. Hope the party went well and the rain stayed away.

  3. Sorry you have the double vision problems, hope you get a referral and have the problem sorted. The goat looks very proud of her curly locks. Had to smile at the 33C being a nice temperature. That is a nightmare for me. :) I hate the heat. Awful about the toilet situation.

  4. Sorry about your double vision problem. Hope you get a referal soon. My husband was the same with the temperatue. He was in Pakistan April/May where the temperature was over 40 so he was like this is nothing!

  6. Oh how frustrating that your optician can’t make a referral yet about your double vision. Hope you can get another opinion on this soon. 57’C car temperature in Dubai sounds awful. I can’t even imagine those kinds of temperatures. #project365
