Bad news about my eyes

[Gizmo]

Went to the eye doctor today. Because I neglected my diabetes for so long I have some eye issues. Hopefully treatable.

I've got to try having a medication injected into my eye at this stage once a month for three months. As I am needle phobic I'll have to see how it goes as there is the option to put me to sleep for each one if I need it.

If these don't work and all options exhausted I could end up with real bad blurry vision OR eventually blind :/

I hope the injections help!!

Sorry to hear that Hulkster. Hope it all goes well, definitely go for the anesthesia if you can to get you through easier.

Sorry to hear about this,

Was their other options, other than the needles? or was that the only doable option

Don't even pretend to care.

They didn't really say much. But this is really the only option. :/

They can't do laser as the issues with my eyes the laser surgery won't get to it all.

your very strong to do needles, EVEN that close up and personal i wouldn't be able to do it.

I don't think I can... That's what stresses me :/

Even if they put me to sleep there's still a needle due to the IV.

I can't handle pain. You got piercings and I can't even do that.

This is true, but you should see how much i shake and freak out hahaha

It's the thought of it that stresses me the most... a needle going close or into my eye or whatever they do. It's kinda yucky but stressful at the same time.

One of the risks is a sharp sting for a couple days, the worst is going blind by the medication...

 

[Gizmo]

The eye doctor was reading a huge list of risks. And I'm like... yeah thanks.

well.... my god i wouldn't want to hear the risks....... wtf

 

[Gizmo]

well.... my god i wouldn't want to hear the risks....... wtf

And then I had to sign a document stating I was okay with the risks.

So basically am I OK with a risk going blind with, or without the medication lol

One reason I just do my insulin(s). I already have fucky eyes as it is before I got diabetes. Don't wanna deal with needles in my eye(s) either.

Eye doctor in general sucks ass, but am used to it now as a grown adult.
