Changing Medication

Franziska Thomas Season 3 Episode 5

Changing Medication has to be be one of the hardest things things to do. As I sit here, the first week of half term, my vision blurred for the second full day in a row I wonder what can be done. I don't want to live like this. I don't want my children to live like this, but there are no other medications I can take. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.  If I could I'd stop taking them- I can't. 

Your perspective on life changes when you can't see. Yesterday the muscles in my legs, arms and tongue stopped working. I need Botox from my constant furrowed brow, but I have to believe it will pass. It passed last time.
