Wow, I had no idea so many of us have these problems. I went to an eye specialist and he couldn't tell me much but that it probably was from my lupus and diabetes. I think I'm seeing fine and then I pick up something to read and realize how blurry it is. To me it's like I've just waken up and can't seem to focus. I have found that that comes and goes so I just try not to read (I love to read) too much when I'm having the problem. I also get floaters that look like text scanning by. I see an intrusion in my vision that looks like a little piece of paper with letters flashing by on it. This usually appears after stressful situations and goes away after a few days. Pretty scary.
My hands go numb a lot. I have lots of trouble at night. I wake up and my whole arm will be numb. I get that arm kind of feeling again and then I wake up later to find my other arm numb. Very frustrating. Funny thing I have found sleeping with a stuffed animal helps keep my arms and hands from going numb in the night. Somehow the positioning of my arms is different when I am holding a pillow or stuffed animal.
Memory thing is really frustrating me lately. I teach a class of 4 and 5 year olds. There are times I just stare at one of them desperately trying to remember their name. I feel sooooo stupid. I know all their names. When I do that several times in a day I know it's my lupus. Over the weekend I have been misspronouncing words left and right. Really scaring me because I am starting to understand how stroke victums must feel. I am forever having to ask people why I came into a room.
