I would love nothing more than to blog about how awesome it is to be pregnant and then follow it with tons of blogs about how miserably uncomfortable pregnancy is but it looks like that's not going to happen for awhile.
I found out this week that my vision has changed pretty drastically in the last 5 months. I should have 20-20 vision with my glasses on but a doctor told me on Tuesday that I need new glasses because my vision is more like 20-40, with one eye worse than the other. This wouldn't be terrible for some people to hear but I got new glasses 5 months ago and prolactinomas happens to sit right next to the optic nerve.
This means the significant change in vision and increase in headaches may be caused by my prolactinoma growing. If that is the case, which we will find out via an MRI next week, than I will need surgery to remove it. With technology, surgery to remove these types of tumors are done through the nose instead of by opening the skull. For those of you that are intrigued by this, I am posting a link to a video that shows an actual surgery .
I am trying so hard to stay positive and not get too depressed but its hard not to feel like there is always something keeping me from my dream...
