Health Update

I feel like I've only been updating on the technical aspects of my illness, like appointments and such, so I will give you an update on how I've been feeling lately.

One word - crappy. BUT, the swelling and severe pain in my left knee went away!!! Now just normal amounts of pain. Normal, as in BAD, but it's everywhere, so it's normal. I have pain over my entire body now. All my joints, muscles, tendons, skin bones...so pretty much every fiber of my being HURTS all the time. It's horrible, I'm 17 years old and I feel like I'm 80!!!
The neurological symptoms have gotten much worse the past few weeks. All of my colors are mixed up, so half the time it's like I'm partially colorblind in places. I see yellow in place of white a lot, that's the worst messed up color. I see things that aren't there....like random lines, lights, things are distorted, things appear to be moving when they're not (like clocks on the wall move back and forth, when obviously they don't), bad eye spots, and my blurry vision has about doubled since the last time I wrote. I literally can't see half the time. It is definitely not fun. Again, I feel old and dilapidated. Not the kind of thing you wanna feel like at 17 :( So please keep sending up those prayers!! Thanks guys! <3
