not whining megan, glad you explained further, the first report made it sound like you were making better progress than this, sorry that you are not. i hate to hear how so many are treated so poorly, its incredibly frustrating.

and some of those comments: nothing causes eye pain? i like your pencil experiment, that might have proved the point! (no pun intended!) or glen's comment about googling eye pain, has he really never heard of uveitis for one? or not believing that the morphine might actually be helping with some of your pain? or the GP trying to take away your AS dx! no wonder you need to vent!

and glen has been such a rock for you along the way, i hope he regroups for you soon. i know how important it is for me to have my husband there for me. but not to say its always easy, chronic illness can be really trying on a relationship, i know sometimes hubby is pushed to his limits. but hopefully the two of you will get through this bump in the road ok. so sorry you are going through this as well right now.

got some more good photos, maybe should post them on the pets thread that dow started awhile ago. as for videos, i finally got a good one of him preening, but every time i try to get him swinging or playing, soon as he sees the camera, he stops doing what he's doing to pay attention to the camera. still working on the videos though.

sounds like dad is doing better and kitty abit as well, good to hear both of those things.
