Ongoing eye issues-UPDATE#14

[Asiel]

I'm just catching this now, I was taken by surprise to say the least. Have to agree that that kind of news is something you don't need but don't lose hope. My uncle has had md for 4 yrs now and he goes in on a regular schedule to have shots in his eyes, so far he sees just as well as he did, drives and the md has not progressed. Another aquaintance also has it and takes shots also and he's doing great. The fear of losing their licence was depressing to both but both are driving and no trouble at all. Don't buy trouble just yet, relax and try to think positive, I know how easy it is to say this and I know hard it is to put it to practice and not be nervous but I'm praying that things will work out great Pom. You have a way of kicking butt when trouble strikes, you can do it again

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Thanks everyone! I'm not going to stress over it - no sense in spazzing and getting upset over something I have no control over, nor of that which I can't change. It is what it is - whatever "it" turns out to be.

Prayers, positive thoughts, good energies to you...

You have a great attitude! God bless.

Hoping for the best! As you said...ain't no sense in worrying about that which you cannot control.

Sending you good thoughts and prayers. Oh and purrrrrrs from Cali and Diego.

Update, for anyone who might be curious. I had all of my tests and was back to the doctor for the results today. Good news/bad news! The good is that I don't have MD and the eye is healthy. Bad is, that since it isn't in the eye itself, then no lens can correct the blurred/double vision, and the problem lies elsewhere. So I have been referred to a neuro ophthalmologist in Baltimore for further evaluation and testing, but they couldn't get me an appointment before July 25th. It could be a number of different things causing the problem - none of which are good - and some worse than others. But again, it's nothing I can change. I could worry about it and make myself a nervous wreck, but then again, the world could end next week, and I'd have wasted my time worrying for no reason. So as you can see, I'm back to square one.

And on top of that, the glasses that were prescribed and are useless to me, they don't want to give me my money back. That's $300+ down the drain, and since I'm on S.S., then that's a good sized chunk of change. I'm pi$$ed and not done with them yet about that. The office manager said she would take it up with the doctor and get back to me tomorrow. Considering that I wore them for only a matter of hours, and nobody caught the fact (until after I bought them) that it was a problem with my eye that a lens wouldn't correct, then they sure as heck better make an exception to their rule.

So that's where things stand as of now. I don't know much more than I did a month ago - other than the fact that I know what it isn't!
