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.

James, so sorry to hear this! 22 TIMES!!!!! Wow.

I wish you a recovery as speedy as it can be with ON, and with no lasting damage.

Gee James that more than sux! I hope everything goes well on Monday. I agree with you about the losing vision being the worst sx. After being dx for 3 years I had my first bout of ON & it was enough to get my butt back on a DMD after being off for over 8 months. Here's a great big and I'll be thinking about you come Monday.

Hi James,

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. There is definite irony in your circumstances.

I too have a severe degeneration going on in my right eye and sympathetic reaction in my left eye.

I've always joked that I would rather lose my hearing rather than my eyesight. Why? Because you can't "hear" a good looking woman on the beach.
