This time I am going to write about a real trip – not a
metaphorical one. I’ve recently been to Berlin, Germany and my MG behaved
really well. The fact that I started the increased dose of Mestinon shortly
before that helped a lot. I have to say that I was quite anxious before this
trip after I had to cancel my holidays abroad over the Christmas break (just
before being diagnosed). At that time I didn’t know exactly who is my travel
companion but now we got to know each other quite well despite the constant
unpredictability of my illness. I am not going to bore you with the details of
a trip which I enjoyed to the maximum together with my partner. I would like to
take advantage of the hundreds of pictures I took there and share some fragments
of my vision affected by MG. The picture which I processed in Photoshop shows
actually how I see when I look straight ahead. There is always a degree of
‘doubleness’ and blurriness which can vary from one minute to another
(literally in the blink of an eye). It is sometimes so bad (especially when I walk) that I can’t cope
without an eye patch when that happens. I've noticed that the gap between images
usually increases if I look at my left/right so maybe you imagine how messed up
it can get. Luckily I need to close one eye when I look through the viewfinder
of my camera so that comes quite handy!
