I'm Afraid It's Back!

For three days now, I've been feeling sick, and I really, honestly don't know why.  At first, I thought it was just because I lack of sleep that I've been experiencing this weird headache.  It usually starts from my eyes, then, it radiates towards the back of my head.  I'm also thinking maybe it's because I've been watching too much Korean drama series on the iPad that now, it feels like I have motion sickness.  I feel nauseated at times, and it definitely sucks because it makes me not want to do anything for the most part of the day.  Even right now, I already feel sick just staring at the computer and writing.  If my eye problem is back, then I'm literally doomed!

I've had eye problem since I was 9 years old.  I actually started wearing glasses when I was in 5th grade.  I hated it, but I needed to.  My eyesight was so poor I couldn't read what was written on the board, thus, making it hard for me to catch up with our lessons.  I thought glasses would eventually help, but it didn't!  My condition got worse to the point where I had "night blindness" incidents, and it freaked the living out of me!  So, I was taken back to my doctor, and he diagnosed me with glaucoma.  I couldn't believe it at first.  I was in denial because I felt I was too young to have such kind of eye problem.  I was prescribed with an eye drop that I had to administer twice a day, and I used it for 5 years.  I was supposed to have my eye check up again, but I never went back to my doctor.  So now, I  don't know how my eyes are doing.  I haven't been to a doctor for like 6 years now!  My husband already told me to make an appointment so I can find out what's really making me dizzy for these past few days.  I just hate it when I have to make so many appointments and phone calls just to be seen by a doctor that I need.  For example, now, I need to be seen by an Optometrist, but before I could make an appointment with one, I need to call my primary healthcare provider, set up an appointment, then, from there, he can refer me to an eye specialist who takes our insurance.  That's how it works when you're a military dependent.  Hey, just to clarify things, I am not complaining at all!  I'm just saying that sometimes, it really is a pain in the butt when you have to go through all this just to get the healthcare that you need.  But, that's part of it.  And I just wish I could find an Optometrist within our area so we don't have to drive all the way to the military hospital just to get one.  We live almost 40 minutes away, so, yeah, that's another issue.  Dragging all of us (with 3 little kids and in this cold, cold weather) just for one patient, and that far?  I don't think so!
