Good morning to all.
I am new to the forum and I come to tell what happened to me not long ago.
I am type II diabetic for at least 15 years.
On May 26, I start having the feeling that my eyes are swollen, such as when one has a cold and his eyes are loaded.
Well, the days go by and that same feeling not only does not take away, but on June 2 I wake up to go to work and start to see double, the fact is that I went and went and the day passes.
On day 3 my eyes are not able to see a single image and so I am going to work by spending one of the worst days of my life.
When I get out of working, I go directly to the hospital and the first thing they do is take me urgently to the ophthalmologist, the ophthalmologist does not see anything?and they take me back to the normal emergency room.
After three long hours they make me a brain scanner and they don't see anything important but I was admitted to me.
The next day they make me another scanner, this time, of thorax and they tell me again that everything is fine but that I remain admitted to make me a resonance and see how my "diplopia" evolves.
RM Day arrives and everything is normal.
Neurologists are concluded that it has been a cerebral micro infarction (micro stroke) or a cerebral ischemic attack (the latter "less bad) and I have touched the part of the brain of the eyes" III par "call it and everythingDue to diabetes, according to doctors.
Attentive to the signs that of course, after a few weeks you join like the pieces of a puzzle.
I have a season, as two months or so in normal and currents conversations, the words are forgotten, words that you use daily and that suddenly it is as if you had them to invent why in your brain they are not, apathy, bad moodWithout why apparent, etc.
Well there was the reason.
I have been having smoking, almost 4 years ago, I take care of me more than ever, I have lost some 27 kilos, although I gulked again as 8 with this confinement, pandemic, etc., I exercise daily (now not), an hourDe Cardio, mixed with some musculation so as not to lose muscle mass.
Doctors say that this takes between 6 and 12 weeks to heal and that the eyes align to see well again.
Hopefully it is true why things have happened to me in my life, but I have managed to carry them, but I have this worse than bad.
Thank you very much for this forum where we can count our problem and if telling you we can help someone ... great.
THANK YOU
