Apologies to anyone who may/may not have wanted some interaction with Mialee/Adriana. Due to some unforeseen circumstances I've been on back to back business trips and will be out of town for at least the week. Shoot me a PM if you need me and I'll see what I can do.

Greetings one and all!
I want you to know the support I have gotten from everyone here at Thain has meant a lot to me, and helped to keep me smiling and positive when I've wanted to freak out. You are all wonderful, and I am glad to know each of you. Thank you.
I finally have a more conclusive test result, it would seem the doctor I had though to be flippant actually did come through. I am surprised to say the least, but glad to have some answers.
I have something known as "Ischemic Optic Neuropathy" something that usually effects people a good deal older than I am. (I'm in my 30's, it's usually 50+). Basically it's a lack of blood supply to the optic nerve.
I am going to be scheduled for another test so they can determine/rule out if I have something called Giant Cell Arteritis, which will test if the arteries are inflamed, and catching this sooner as opposed to later is a good thing.

An update:
They still don't know anything. LOL. I passed all my tests indicating nothing was wrong (obviously something is).
Currently I am on some meds to try and increase bloodflow in hopes that it helps, since it's a safer option at present than to biopsy the arteries around the eye to test them.
I think it's helping a bit, it's less hazy and dark and I'm not as dizzy from it. It's still hard to wander around a lot in game, so when I'm logged in I am trying not to move maps too often, or into too complicated of areas since it's hard on my visually to adjust to rapid changes or large scale scenery. I can RP and plot though, so yay.
