If you havent seen a doctor recently about this, the state of the art has hugely improved. Lucentis is supposed to actually improve vision, which no drug before did.Daniel Keys Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992599044462413412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778489216730794604.post-17397352359613425112007-11-17T21:46:00.000-08:002007-11-17T21:46:00.000-08:00I know the feeling, Dan.

Never saw anything like that before." Which is not something you want to hear.<BR/><BR/>After three specialist and injections of this and that, they whittled down the diagnoses: Probably wasn't histoplasmosis; and they decided, it was idiopathic macular degeneration -- which in layman's terms meant: my eye fuzzed over and they didn't know what caused it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, it sorta resolved. I still play hell looking at a Fanchler grid, and they don't know if it will get worse, though it definitely won't get better.<BR/><BR/>Love those ticking time bombs.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778489216730794604.post-36250923182704022912007-11-17T21:34:00.000-08:002007-11-17T21:34:00.000-08:00Good news about the left eye. As for the right .....Good news about the left eye. As for the right ... that's also good news, if it makes your life easier.<BR/><BR/>Dealing with physical disability or serious illness is a real mindbender. My mother wrote a book titled <I>Why I'm Glad I Had Breast Cancer</I>, and she meant it. I read the book, and told her flat out that although I understood what she said, I still couldn't get my head around it. The closest I've ever come to anything that serious was when I broke my leg, very badly (a good chunk of it is still metal) a couple of years ago ... and I knew that I was eventually going to get better. Permanent changes in the body are, I think, like combat, or religious experiences, or extreme poverty: if you weren't there, you really don't understand.Daniel Dvorkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899158517966852736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778489216730794604.post-3996682336132088222007-11-17T21:15:00.000-08:002007-11-17T21:15:00.000-08:00Oh, thank goodness -- the less than 1% thing, I me...Oh, thank goodness -- the less than 1% thing, I mean.Sean Faganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453182401970523831noreply@blogger.com
