The doc that saw me today is a great Optha. He has been the only to see my Retinopathy. He congratulated on the big improvement he saw in my eyes.

As they are able to see the damage MS can cause in the eyes.
He found exactly what I expected, the Macualr swelling, once again. He sent for my July appt to be pushed up so I can get more Kenelog shots. I know these work, but Im afraid of having so many done. He found cataracts on both eyes and I know all these procedures I have had, have these side effects. .
What else could it be next, the Bird Flu??? lol
Shucks Mars. I agree that you have surely been through enough for
quite some time. I am glad that it wasn't the MS causing the blurriness
and glad also that your Doc saw a big improvement.
Sorry, to hear of the cataracts. But at least they can be
removed. I had posted awhile ago that I freaked about 5 minutes from
having mine removed last September. So I saw him on April 11th and
this time he's putting me out(thank God). Ha, he of course had to mention
that there is always a slight chance that I wouldn't wake up. That is normal
with a general anestetic(sp). Been through the general twice before, made
it back both times. I feel certain the devil doesn't want me yet. Still have
more damage to do up here. Best to you always.

Bird Flu? Did you have the mumps shot? I know I heard this one wrong. I heard
that they had their first case of the black plague(bubonic plague?)in the U.S. What
the H*ll? That's not near funny. I sure hope I heard that wrong.
