[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 2006582, member: 142835"] Hi there [USER=501040]@Pippa1988[/USER] ok .. so i have used the noctura mask in the past for about 2 years and there was a definite improvement in retinopathy ( some small bleeds actually healed up ) personally i can recommend it but it is quite expensive as for the macular odema -- i had injections of Lucentis into my left eye about 6 years ago and since then my left eye has been stable and the odema shrunk a bit ( according to the opthalmologist ) as [USER=473650]@gemma_T1[/USER] has said , there were loads of seniors acting like they were just stopping in to pick up a bag of sweets , but like gemma i was scared of the whole thing .... the build up is the worst bit and the actual injection is about 2-3 seconds ---- I did experience quite unpleasant after effect once the anaesthetic had worn off -- it was sort of like somebody had poured a bucket of sand into my eye--- i learned after the first injection to take paracetamol about an hour before the injection so that helped a bit in that on my subsequent injections i could take further paracetamol about 3 hours after the injection and this lessened the pain in the eye in all honesty i proceeded straight to bed after each injection and tried to just rest and sleep it off which seemed to work for me. for a couple weeks following the injections i would get black "floaters" moving across my eyesight but i was told they were normal. not sure how badly your actual vision is currently affected . this treatment has not improved my actual seeing ( i wear glasses for distance ) but the improvement at the back of the eyes is what this treatment is all about and finally ...all the best to you .. you are a true t1d warrior and i'm sending all my positive vibes for you Edited by Mod [/QUOTE]
