[QUOTE="Thundercat, post: 403099, member: 51047"] On Monday I had laser treatment with an anaesthetic injection because the last session was stopped as it was soooooo painful. I am not afraid of needles or injections but the idea of a needle near my eye was horrifying. I resorted to hypnotherapy to try and get through it. It seems to have worked because it was only a little stressful. Even when I saw the needle I just found it interesting that there was a curve in it and didn't freak out. The pain after the laser was extraordinary. Like a really bad migraine. Afterwards the whole emotional tidal wave about complications and blindness hit me. I have lived in total fear of it for 27 yrs. My eye is still very bloodshot and there is still some pain/discomfort and blurred vision. Is this normal? I'm probably being a huge wuss but I just want to put it behind me and can't stop worrying Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
