NE Wildlife - Yes it started in my lungs. It put me in the hospital when I was 13 (1967) and Dr.'s diagnosed it as Mononucleosis. I didn't move into my eye until I was 40 but they couldn't stop it so I eventually lost all central vision and a lot of peripheral in my right eye. At that time the Dr.'s at Iowa City said it most likely was not Mononucleosis but Histoplasmosis when I was 13. My left eye took over and I'm so use to it now it really don't matter.

Retina specialist doctor treated my left eye for macula degeneration for 3 years including eyeball injections 3 to 6 months apart. Injections resulted in no noticeable pain. And no noticeable benefit. I lost all vision in that eye.

A friend of mine has macular degeneration and gets a shot in each eye every other month. He doesn't care, says it keeps him from going blind so it's worth it.

My wife has Macular degeneration and has been getting shots in both eyes for a long time. No cure for this. The Doc says the treatment is to delay further degeneration. He now says my wife is his miracle patient. She only has to have shots in one eye monthly now. So thankful. God is good.

I developed glacoma at age 37 in my right eye. Received my first steroid shot in my eye at that time for Iritus. I asked the doc what he planned to do with that 3 inch needle. He replied stick it in your eye. OMG. Any how I am 56 now. Have a shunt in the eye. I have had so much crap done nothing phases me anymore. I still have my full sight. That is what matters. Needle in the eyeball still sucks

Sounds like a group of tough SOBs makes me feel bad about some of the things I complain about

Had cataract surgery a few years ago. Doc came at me with a potato peeler. Why can't they knock you out beforehand?
