I look forward to reading about it more!

I had one when I went thru my lengthy time of trying to get my Plaquenil Retinapathy diagnosed. It was an awful test, and I pretty much refused to come back for the second one in six months. Fortunately, my visual deficit has stayed the same once I stopped the drug. Did you see the Lupus Now article in the current issue? I campaigned to get that in print and I'm happy with how it came out. My feeling is if I can help one other person prevent the blindness I have, it will be worth it!

I go back in 6 months, and we'll go from there, but I didn't know about more advanced tests or that you could find a specialized opthamologist to administer them. Very helpful info!Maggienoreply@blogger.com
