Flat Glasses
As some of you already know, I have had a cerebral spinal fluid leak for over 15 months. Not enough spinal fluid causes a constant, sometimes severe, headache and my only remedy is to take a lot of iburprofen and/or lay flat until the fluid builds up again.
I had a blood patch last February to try and repair the leak. It helped but ultimately failed. I'm now nearly six months into waiting on a call from The Mayo Clinic to set up an appointment. Sigh.
To remain productive while laying around, I bought a pair of flat glasses. If you read in bed at night, you might want to grab a pair to take some pressure off your neck. They help me tremedously!
Tips:
#1 - Check the reviews to be sure you don't buy a heavy pair. They work with glass prisms, so some of the weight is unavoidable; however, I had to return the first pair I tried because they gave me a worse headache!
#2 - They can be worn over reading glasses.
#3 - Pictures of you in the glasses will make friends giggle and smile. . . and ask if you are okay, like mentally okay. :-)
