I was diagnosed with MS in 1995. I've gone blind from ON a few times but have some how managed to recover from complete blindness to where I am now (no sign of it oddly!). This woman kept saying I looked very strong for a woman with MS. HOW do we all look exactly?

As for the other problems with my eyes, I know them too well as my late husband was almost blind from macular degeneration and my father was the same. Genetic no doubt as my grandfather was also affected by it. Scary!

This know-it-all woman got angry at me when I told her that Native Americans held slaves and that I must be wrong. I told her that no, I am not "wrong", it is a historical fact. She kept telling me I am wrong wrong wrong.

As for my eyes, she had me lined up to get shots in the eyes already which is not the case for everyone with macular degeneration. My good eye is at 20/15 now oddly so I am far from being blind at this point and with any luck at all, that will not happen to me, I do not know.

Its a good thing I'm not thinking that Jesus guy will heal me.

I hate relying on others and I think you are of the same ilk.

If these are our helpers in life, well ugh, to hell with it!

Hang-in there LiberalLoner know you are never alone on this site as you have me for what it may be worth.
