Hey! There probably aren't many of you around anymore but... I just wanted to say that life is going pretty well and I have no complaints. I feel like I did a lot of complaining back then. I moved away 2 years ago from a rough situation and I have changed SO much. I can't even recognize the old me anymore. I'm more positive and more responsible, and I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have always stuck around. You deserve all the love in the world.
Anyway, I just wanted to post a little something positive and also say thanks. <3
Ok so... Not sure if any of you guys know but I've never had a name for why I have bad vision. None of my doctors had an actual NAME for why I have the problems I do.
I was curious and did a quick google search for *underdeveloped optic nerve* and BAM. I found Optic Nerve Hypoplasia.
I read up on it some just to see what it was, not really thinking I would be able to find the answer so easily.
I read and read and read. nystagmus, lack of pituitary function, hormone deficiencies, growth hormone deficiency, slower aging, vision problems, ADD, Aspergers/autism, lack of need for sleep, texture problems, and developmental issues.
I started crying because I wanted to know this stuff when I was 18, not 35.
This explains everything including my immaturity during high school.
This post isn't a *give me pity* post. I'm simply posting it to get it off my chest and maybe educate others so if they see something like this they'll know the right questions to ask their doctor.
If anything, I just want to live life and have fun doing so.
It feels good to know. It hurts a little too, but I can handle it.
