Hello Dave from sunny England.
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
I'm really sorry to read of the reasons that bring you to these forums and many people here will understand how you are now feeling about losing your independence with your car and your photography.
I'll post a few links below where you may want to either read or repost your message. Just click on those links and that will take you to the various forums I've posted.
There was another new member here this week looking for others dealing with an arachnoid cyst. That thread is about 5 down the list here in the New Members Introductions area and also over on the General Health forum.
Chronic Pain Forum
General Health and Rare Disorders
There are lots of people throughout the forums dealing with various types of vision problems.
You could try a search in the forum search feature if you wanted. Same with arachnoid cysts.
