[QUOTE="gemma_T1, post: 1838976, member: 473650"] Hi everyone, well after seven hours in eye emergency, I have my diagnosis[emoji322][emoji323] I have inflammation in my right eye ... and everything that can be inflamed is inflamed which is why it hurts to move my eye especially to the right or left - don’t know why these directions hurt much more that the others ... so I have been given anti-inflammatory drops for that and good strong painkillers... hopefully within 10 days it should clear. I asked how this occurs but the really lovely doctor says they don’t really know ...it can just happen ... That was the good news!!! The bad news is that I have a huge and extensive macular edema on this eye which wasn’t there last October in my last retinal tests so I am really upset, especially as I can’t do anything about it until I return to Italy in September. I am booking the hospital for more invasive tests for the 3rd of September and hopefully they can give me the injections to stop it ...by the end of that week. Fingers crossed!! But in the meantime this ‘wetness’ will damage my eye and maybe permanently like the last time when two injections cleared it up but the damage was already done!! A very delicate piece of equipment this retina. Anyway, I met some lovely people in the emergency waiting area and we had a really jolly time I think we managed extremely well to forget our pain and troubles and to spend much of our 7 hours together laughing.
