I have been going to the eye doctor lately to get contacts. I thought my glasses were causing me to have more and more headaches. I too cannot stand bright lights. Glare is terrible also.
You stated you are on pretisone. I do not want to go that route if I can help it. I have been on it before and when I am, I could eat a horse if it back up to me. I gain weight so fast. Doesn't it also have a side-effect on your heart?
When I was in the hospital 3 weeks ago, every doctor that came into my room and nurse ask if I had taken some. The only time this year I have taken any was for a bad case of poison oak. I just don't want to go that route.
Share your experience with it. My friend was taking it for arthritis in knees and it got his heart all out of rhythm.
