    I have been progressively feeling better for the past 5 weeks. I feel like I am almost over it. Once I hit the 5 month mark is when things started to turn for the better. I had a lot of eye issues too. Blurry vision and stuff like that. It all went away. You will recover. It may not feel like it now but you will. Like Tom Petty said, The waiting is the hardest part. Full recovery will come in time.

    Hi Emma,

    I know you have been struggling and suffering lately, I really wish could take that away from you - just want you to know that things will get better. It took me about 9 months but that's not saying it's going to take you as long - you are much younger than me when I took it and that is a positive thing for a quicker recovery. But just remember in the hard days it's normal to be going through this at this stage and that things will get better, and you will look back when you are healthy again and say this was a bad few months or year or whatever but that I got better.

    Hoping your eye symptoms settle down Emma, that sounds horrible and just want you to know I'm still thinking about you and keeping you in thoughts and prayers.
