Why can't I just have an easily diagnosed condition for once?
I am seeing a spot in my left eye's vision field, and the opthamologist says he suspects "retinal leakage" or some such condition. Now I have to go to a retinal specialist tomorrow. I hate missing work, I know my crap will be piled up when I get back and I don't know what the hell is wrong and I am seeing a spot.


Argh.

1. Yo. Good luck!
Me, I know all about that kind of stuff. First of all, I have a chronic condition that only 1;200,000 people get..then I don't react the way even the Mayo doc ever heard of when it comes to my meds...:shrug:
Some of us are just odd balls...:hug:

I am a female closing in on 40, and I have a condition that is usually restricted to elderly males.
