Hi everyone
Just thought I would let you know how it is going. As usual I am loathe to say that it is fine because sods law dictates that I will now endure a week of pain!
However it is still quite good and this is now nearly 3 months in what are usually my worst of times i.e. cold weather and high central heating.
I still know that I have some problems and feel the odd symptom but in comparison to a year ago it is a massive improvement. I like to think that it has been a general healing process that is still going on after 2 years since Lasik and I think for all similar sufferers this has to be the optimum solution.
When I first started there was talk of 6 months healing period, then I read a lot about 18 months and when you pass those landmarks it can be very diiscouraging. Reading Dr. Latkanys piece on possible regrowth after 5 years should give hope to everyone.
I have tried everything so it is difficult to pin point what has made the difference but one simple tip from Dr. Latkanys book relieved a lot of my pain.
I have mentioned it before but if it helps..... I traditionally sat in the chair in the window observing the world going by. This chair was directly opposite the door into the room and was obviously in the path of the air current. After reading the book I changed my seat and noticed a difference almost immediately and if I sit there now for any reason i can feel the difference.
Just a little thing but they can make a massive difference. The other thing was to keep the central heating as low as my cold blooded wife would let me!
Anyway, I will keep you informed and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and pain free New Year
God Bless
