| Not exacly the same, but i have just last month been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration in my left eye, ther is no cure, and what makes this one bad it is directly in my line of vision, so anything i look at when i close my good eye is greyed out, i now have to go to Retina specialist and they are trying something that is fairly new , only 2500 injections. It is a Drug that is FDA aproved for cancer patients but not for eyes. But they found that this helps for Macular Degeneration and the outcome is different for everyone that has it. They said they had good results with it, soo i had my first injection into my eye 3 weeks ago, i asked what could i expect, and they said they wont know until 4-5th injections as everyone reacts diffrent, my next one Oct.30th ...oh boy let me tell ya i was scared sh..less before i went for my first one, and was realy suprised as it didn hurt at all, just realy scary seeing that shot come at you and you dont dare blink:rolleyes: was just a little uncomfortable a bit for a couple of days and eye looked like somebody suckerpunched ya !
Soo i have alot of sympathy pains for you and wish ya good luck, dont be scared ! |
