Life unscripted: natalie and a hard day with DME

Eye stuff is scary. There's no way around it. A hard day with DME looks like extremely twisted vision,

as though my eyesight is in a fishbowl.

There's a few things to think about. The first is, is this a new symptom? If it's something that's happening that is new or different, definitely call your doctor

right away. We are lucky to live in a time that there is a lot of things that you can do for eyes. There's a lot of treatments.

There's a lot of options. And with social media, just know you're not the only one going through this. I used to rush through days and just

push through whatever I was expecting myself to do. But time after time, I've relearned the best thing

to do is relax, close your eyes, take a nap. Don't do anything too aggressive. You'll feel much better the next day.
