Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thanks for your reply, @outlander ...I've never had any sort of glasses before. I think I will ask the optometrist, or at least the receptionist, about it. That's interesting your eyes still take time to adjust when you take your glasses off....and you've been wearing glasses for 12 years, you said.

I'm not getting double vision, just feeling dizzy as things around are blurry...and it's more than a few seconds. I will watch for the headaches that you mention. I'm hoping I'll adjust.

Have you picked up your glasses now?

Good morning @NatureLover 🤗🌼🌸🌻💓

Hope you're doing okay, and that you are adjusting better to the glasses.

If you continue to get the blurry edges and dizziness, by all means go back to your optometrist and discuss this with the people there. Sometimes it could be a simple matter of adjusting the fit over your nose or around your ears. It may take a few visits to get it just right.

How are you doing, besides the glasses issue? I have been thinking of you a lot.

Thanks so much for thinking of me, dear @Emelia8

I just replied to someone in my CG role for the first time in I don't know how many months! 😮 I don't know what made me reply - maybe as I've just had 2 days away from the forums? Their post popped up...anyway, maybe it's a good sign for the burnout?

I've been sick for 2 days - stomach, dizzy and weak, not Covid. But it's made me scared to use the glasses and get the dizziness back. I was really sick and nearly died on Thursday when I couldn't get breath when throwing up. I'm thankful to be alive. So I'm putting off wearing the glasses for now. I did speak to the optometrist briefly on Wednesday and she said my reaction was normal and that I'd adjust...but I'm still scared. Thanks for your encouragement.

How are you doing, my friend? And your furbaby?

Gee @NatureLover .. that sounds really bad. Glad you are feeling better now, but certainly not good for 2 days. I can understand your reluctance to go back to the glasses just now. But is there a possibility that your illness may not have been related to the glasses at all? It sounds like a very severe reaction. Maybe it was a bug going around? Oh my ... you nearly died? Thank God you are still with us.

Yes I saw your response to the new (ish) member, and very good it was too. Well done. Fingers crossed it is a sign that your burnout is indeed waning. Hip hip hooray ... we may soon have our delightful NatureLover back again! 🙏💓🤗

So kind of you to ask about how I'm going with the new glasses @outlander

I'm sorry about the delay in replying, I've been pretty sick for the last 2 days, haven't been online at all.

I'm scared to use the new glasses now, as the dizziness makes me think I'll get sick again. Is that irrational? Or maybe just a normal reaction to how sick I was? Anyway, I'm putting off wearing the new glasses for a while. I see what you mean about the lenses which are set for long-distance and short-distance as well...but mine are only for short distance. Once my glasses are on it's fine, it's the transition on and off that's bad. 😞

I'm glad you have your glasses back, and yes, 12 years is something to be proud of. 🙂

Sending you 💙 and thoughts...

Haha, thanks, sweet @Emelia8 Thanks for your kind words too.

Yes, Thursday was very, very frightening. I feel I'm very lucky to be alive.

Yes, I think it was a tummy bug, but the dizziness with the glasses is just a bit frightening right now. I can't face it. Obviously in time I will try the glasses again, as I'll need them to read in the long term.

Thank you for being caring You didn't say how you were doing...I hope OK?

Much 💜

Sorry to hear that you have been unwell @NatureLover glad you're better. Hugs and love 💕
