I know I recently commented on my stay in hospital during this past week very light heartedly in "I digress". But unfortunately this problem I have - temporal arteritis (inflammation of the temporal artery) is causing me grave problems - mainly my eye sight in my left eye. This is very blurry apparently caused by damage to the eye muscle. I am still on massive dose of steroid but they are not promising my good (that I had before this problem) eye sight will return to normal. Only time will tell. Feeling a bit disgruntled & of course mega doses of steroids DO Not keep you calm & constrained.
