Three months ago, visited hospital for the first time with eye aching day and night. After extensive tests, including an MRI,
the diagnosis was severe Toxoplasmosis. Since the first visit, feeling a great deal worse, not better, despite a whole raft of tablets on a daily basis. Now feel dizzy, nauseous, have horrible taste in my mouth and insomnia. Have confidence in the Consultants but the question is, why has it become worse not better? If anyone has suffered with the same problem, please let me know if it becomes better eventually.
TIA

Sorry to hear it hasn't cleared up. Have not had it myself but your post reminded me of a conversation about a mutual friend who got rid of her cats after coming down with this. It is unusual in cool climates but cats are definitely intermediate hosts of this parasite that can invade the eye. She did get better, when I bumped into her later, she looked fine and was. sunshine

I've got a cat. I've never heard of that before

I've heard of it and you have to be scrupulously clean such as washing hands after stroking the cat.
I've kept animals all my life, cats and dogs, and up to now haven't received any nasty shocks. My 3 cats are my life now, so long as they're wormed, de-flead ? and vaccinated I don't envisage a problem.
