Diagnosed @ 51 - Vision too?

In doing some of my reading on Spastic Diplegia, I saw that vision could also be involved in younger patients.  Now I'm wondering if my recent vision problems aren't part of this too.  I've called & spoken to Dr. H's nurse (neurologist) and told her that I failed to mention my vision changes during our meeting.  She's going to get back with me after he returns next week and see if they could be related.  I told her that if he thought they were related, I would like to go ahead and do the scan of brain/spinal.  I can do without my legs if I have too, but do not want to lose my eyesight.

I also called Dr. W (opthomologist) & he wants to see me on Tuesday.  I saw him in January and went from just reading glasses to tri-focals.  What really bothers me is that I can no longer thread a needle without my glasses & really need to use a threader too!  I've called my last doctor to have my previous vision results faxed.

I've done all that I can do for now & just have to leave it in the hands of God for now.  I think the "Serenity Prayer" will be my mantra until I see Dr. W and hear back from Dr. H.
