Hi all
In Feb this year I was diagnosed with proliferative retinopathy I have had two sessions of laser surgery done since then under anaesthetic as I cannot sit there awake whilst having it done (I am the worst patient)
I have had my follow up appointment today and the ophthalmologist said there is still active or (live) blood vessels that need to be lasered again - now I am so scared and confused and every god **** doctor tells me something different the doctor told me today that if I have more surgery my liscence will be revoked due to loss of peripheral vision- firstly I don’t notice any difference in my vision at all especially my peripheral vision??? So why would more surgery risk me having my liscence taken?
I have had very badly neglected control for 15 years now (I’m 24 this year) and I also drank a lot of alcohol and smoked so I completely neglected my body - the past 4-5 months I have tried to get a tighter control but I don’t do anything with my life I’m to scared to go on off track like work or socialise ect I’m in a dafne course at the moment and it’s just messing my brain up I’m exhausted
Can anyone help me?
Will I loose my liscence ?
Will my quality of life get better ?
And will I be able to live a happy life how I want to?
Please share your experiences and give me hope and reassurance ️️
