Twenty-two episodes of ON!?!?!?



Holy carp!

I think I'm only on my third (going to the eye doctor to find out in about a half hour...hopefully it's just eyestrain)

22 eps of ON in 9yrs...that's about 2 1/2 episodes of ON a year. (did the math, it was 2.4 with a long string of "4's" repeating on my calculator)


I'm getting really anxious for the scientists to hurry up and develop the Star Trek healing gizmo thingamajig that will cure MS someday.

Sorry to hear you're going throught this.

I've had ON about 7 or 8 times.........nowhere near the number of times you've been "hit"and I do understand how precious that right eye is to you. My DH is blind in one eye (from birth) so that one and only seeing eye is rather special to us both.

I'd be terrified of a needle into my eyes, but if it meant saving my vision or not, I'd be having one just like you.

Get well soon Jamesnns.

James,

I am sorry to hear about this....I hope the shot helps you. Sounds awful though....

I have to agree with you about your eyesight....the thought of being blind is scary to me.

I hope all goes well. Let us know.

james,

that is downright awful.
i'm sorry that your MS is targeting your eyes.

here's hoping the injection goes well and will extend your vision.

Thanks for the kind replies.

Monday can't get here soon enough. My vision is getting worse by the day and I feel/hope that my vision will recover. There's always that chance that when the damage is done...it's done.(Like my left eye)

Althougn my vision is bearable with high magnification lenses, I'd hate to have this vision permanatley. Everything takes soo long to do...I have to be within inches of what I'm looking at..and that's with +7.00 lenses...LOL.

Anywhoo Thanks again.
