- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
I have blurred vision today since waking up (a few hours ago). I am trying to tell myself to stay calm, it will go away etc, but to be honest, I am freaking out.
If I call a doctor I am willing to bet they will just say wait and see.
The first thing they ask when I have a new symptom is - have you started taking any new medications? And I have, I started Olanzapine (for depression) a few weeks ago. I stopped it yesterday and went back to a different med because of the crazy side effects. Olanzapine can cause blurred vision. But then so can a lot of things.
I just can't be bothered dealing with doctors today unless there is something they can actually do for me. So I wanted to vent here instead. Thanks for listening.
