Good New - No Torn Retina
 
Bad News -Acute vitreous detachment  This is where the egg white part of the eye separates from the back wall of the eyeball.

 

Good News - The dr expects it will heal on its own. I will go back to him in 4 weeks.

 

Bad News - You guys have to put up with me some more!!!   lol

FH

Fishinghat, dear friend-- I hope you are okay. I don't know your current status with meds, but when I was withdrawing from Cymbalta I had a similar scare with symptoms that pointed to a retinal tear. Upon examination, it was proven not to be so. Hopefully this will be the case with you.

The litany of symptoms, false indicators, and red herrings in all phases-- uploading, cross-tapering, adjusting dosages, withdrawing, and long-term recovery from these drugs is astounding!

Hang in there FH-- there's a lot of love, good thoughts, and prayers coming your way!

Take care.

LOL Your last piece of Bad News is Good News to me.

 

You have been through it all and keep coming back. Just goes to show you can't keep a good man down.

 

Think of you often and thank you for all your help on my journey.

 

:hug: Nancy

Good to hear FH. You will be seeing flies where there aren't any and flashes at times.

I have had that for two years or so, we get used to it.

So glad for the good news, as for the bad one, its on you, we will keep badgering you!♥♥
