One of the medications I am on, Lyrica / Pregabalin has developed new side effects after 4 years. 

I am now getting severe eye pain as well as blurring around lights (street lights, head lights etc so I don’t like walking at night at the moment). I am also getting double vision for light text on a dark background. 

What has thrown me today is being in a supermarket, getting to the shelf I wanted but then being unable to read the labels.

I was sent to the hospital and they can’t find anything wrong so are happy to say its side effects. I have glasses for reading but my sight itself is not testing as bad enough for what I’m getting.

I’m hoping that I can change medications over the summer holidays but unfortunately that means losing most of it to coming off this an on to a new one which may or may not work and have different side effects. I think the side effects of Pregablin are just too much now with this, STM issues and concentration issues.

Feel free to reblog with your prescription.

I really, really HATE diagrams.

don’t get me wrong, written instructions are often not clear enough and I absolutely understand the need for pictures and diagrams to help aid understanding. That makes total sense to me.

but my brain cannot handle the whole 2D-3D thing. though it’s more than that too.

most of the time it simply doesn’t work. I look at the diagram and look at the object and my brain goes ‘does not match’. because...it doesn’t. and since it doesn’t match I cannot fathom wtf I am looking at.

sometimes, with great effort I can get it to work a little. or something happens to be simple enough or idk the star are aligned properly and I get like a whole step without terrible struggle and trial and error and frustration.
