I'm sorry to hear that, I've been the same actually
I went blind in both eyes last December, had eye surgery, now I have one good eye but it's still a little fuzzy
Oh my goodness how frightening
I'm glad you were able to regain vision in the one eye, at least
Do you know why it happened?
Harder to read and write, can't work, it's hard getting a disability check
Yeah it's because of diabetes
Dang. Gotta keep that sugar under control. Do you have anything to monitor yourself to keep it in check?
But I'm happy I can see at all, I was completely blind for a month
Wow, that must have been quite the experience
I've experienced temporary blindness before, but never for an extended length of time
Mine only lasted a few moments during an anxiety attack
It was pretty unnerving though
Yeah it was crazy, it's a scary thing to have happen to you
I'm so sorry you went through that
I do monitor my blood sugar very well, even more now
Hopefully, you had some support, so you weren't alone
I did have my gf, she helped me through it everyday

Can you get one of those things that automatically dispenses insulin when you need it?
>>> I did have my gf, she helped me through it...
Thank goodness. Glad to hear that
I think they make pumps that they can implant In you that sense things now
Because I know it's such a guessing game with the insulin sometimes
>>> Can you get one of those things that autom...
I can't afford it, I still have no insurance
If you can get on disability, you should be able to get one through medicare
How are you doing? You said you had health issues recently?
Yeah, just the same stuff.I've been dealing with for a while. Had a couple flare ups recently, and i've been sore and in pain
Doctors aren't really offering me any solutions
They're not even telling me what's going on
Just something I have to live with, I.Guess
I'm so sorry, I hope things get easier, one way or another
Yeah, I don't know any more. It may be a few years until I get relief and it could get worse before it gets better. I'm just trying to do my best to take things day.By day
Trying to avoid trips to the e.R
A couple weeks ago a five ton package did me in. I have to be so careful about lifting things😩
Oh geez lol I thought 5 tons would really have messed you up
I ended up being in really bad pain for hours, and then I had this bulge.. So I wasn't sure if it was a hernia, or what was going on
>>> Oh geez lol I thought 5 tons would really ...
🤣🤣🤣
So far, i've had two of them poking out on either side of my abdomen
But then they retract before I can do any imaging. So by the time I get to the doctor they can't see anything going on
That is terrible I'm sorry
>>> That is terrible I'm sorry
Yeah, not much.I can do about things except for try to be very careful and not lift anything.. Which is basically impossible since I live alone🤣 i do my best though, to be cautious about things
