Keep on fighting to get an answer...hope you feel better!!
The retinas could be NMO or it could be degenerative, or it could be Crohn's. Some days I feel totally screwed . . .

But I will keep painting as long as I can. Monet had cataracts and created some of his most moving landscapes in spite of poor eyesight. I don't know if his feet burned or his hands fell asleep or he had to run to the loo constantly though . . . but I know many of the artists we revere have suffered afflictions we can only imagine, in times where medicine had even less to offer . . .
