Wish me luck. Ophthalmologist appointment is in 2 1/2 hrs
Ron,
As others have said you have to do your own research and be an advocate for yourself. Our prayers are with you and your family and praying this is not something major. Good luck today and hang in there bro!

According to this at least there is a solution vs losing your eyesight so that is good news. Hopefully the doctors will be able to control it with medications. If there is anything I could do to help please let me know. Hang in there bro, I know life has not been kind to you and your family over the last few years. Keep fighting and you will pull through!

I had to look up up Y & T (Yesterday & Today), Ron. They've been around since the oil embargo in the early 70's.

Hoping you can get through this one like you've done with every other rut you've had to drive through.

Nando.

Well, appointment today went ok. My left eye has improved dramatically with the drop treatment, right eye has stabilized. I have an appointment early August for an Ophthalmologist in Meriden, CT. He will decide the next course of action but it will be some sort of surgery since this condition does not fix itself. They lowered the steroid drop amount I was taking (cut in half) since the saline solution was doing most of the work
