Got diagnosed with BVD yesterday

Hey all, I am excited to share I was officially diagnosed yesterday with BVD and will be getting my first pair of prisms for reading and using the computer. I suffer from migraines and I’m really hoping to see relief soon.

Unfortunately I got super ill after the exam. The worst isn’t the head pain it’s the stomach upset. I am still not well and probably have to miss work. They did warn me it would be triggering to do the exam but I wish I had known a bit more information. I gotta say for anyone who’s yet do to the exam some things that have given me relief from the pain are my heated eye massager, heating pad on my stomach, ice packs, CBD, tummy drops, peppermint tea, ginger candy. As well as having light foods on hand for soothing IBS flares. During my exam I took goody’s headache relief and ate some snacks halfway thru and it definitely helped. Had I not taken anything I might’ve really suffered thru the last half of the exam.

The Lyft driver who brought me back home afterwards nearly killed me with his crazy driving and I almost threw up in the car. But it’ll all be worth it in the end. Next Friday I will get my full results in the follow up appointment.
