sabina hi pete. hope u are taking it easy now. you must have been terrified when u lost ur sight especially bein in a strange country hope your holiday in goa has less drama ;)

Meee Hey guys Got all clear from doc and eye clinic. They gave me pain killers cos I'd strained my eyes for days and gave myself some pretty horific headaches as a result! Just been eye clinic and got a full workover...he confirmed what I'd read..the drug caused me to lose my sight. I've got a small heammorage in my right eye but he said thats very common for people who go to high altitude. He said most people don't even knwo they have one most of the time. My eeyssightis exactly the same as when I had my last check so ain;t affected it at all. Woo hoo.... Spose its all part of the experience hahaha... (I can laugh now!) PS Woeful performance by the blues yesterday against boro! Pete Pete

mum Hi Pete Glad your your ok, Yes is good to get checked at the clinic.3rd time lucky for you,and got over another scare. Take care lots love Mum xxx

Meee hey guys...made it down ok. get the bus to kathmandu tomorrow. I've just checked my symptoms on net and discoverved some guy had exactly the same experience as me (except mine went on 1 1/2 days more). I thinked I've nailed the problem...when I went to Everest I took a preventative drug for Acute Mountain Sickness - Diamox. I didn't get any major side effects last time...just some tingling in my fingers. But have discovered this guy took it as well (with no major side effects the first time) and had the same big side effects to the tee!!! I'm thinkin as well, I took some Ibuprofen for my headache so maybe that made it worse as well..dunno! Anyhow...at least I know the cause..and I haven't got a brain tumour! I'm gonna head to the International Clinic in Kathmandu tomorrow to just talk it over with a western doc. Pete PS Promise no more crazy adventures!!!

mum Pete Thank god you got your sight back it must have beena great shock not being able to see for three days. being the blood vessals swelling up in the back of your eyes. Pete it was awarning to slow down now, weve all had enough frightes on your last adventures, please take a good rest. Take care lots love Mum xxx

mum Pete Im glad you decieded to turn back on your trek,your right you have to take care of your health, I think you are exhausted with all you have achieved over the months and this is your body telling you to slow down and take a rest. Hope your feeling better soon. Take Care lots love Mum xxx
