Morning all had a bit of scare this morning when I opened my eyes and couldn't see anything just flashers and blotches couldn't make anything out thought this is it my sight has finally gone .
It took about hour for my eyes to recover and my site return to some norm to say it scared me would be an understatement but I guess this is going to be the norm for me now .

I don't know much about retinopathy Ron. Have you had a chance to read up on it? Used the retinopathy sufferers forums here?
Is this the best it will get?
 
Hi everyone, any advice pain in my toes is getting really bad & burning, told nurse but was told probably nerve damage, thanks I know that already, any advice welcome.

Ask for Gabapentin, Pregablin pain killers if it's a case of controlling nerve pain

Thanks Jan but it's been getting steadily worse and guess this morning was the next step guess will find out in the morning if it repeats .
I know the steroids won't be helping as not had good BG's for weeks double figures most days
