[QUOTE="runningwitht1, post: 1808747, member: 476056"] Thanks everyone for your kind replies! It’s so helpful to know there are others who have gone through this and know what it’s like, both from the eyesight and emotional point of view! I spoke with my GP on Monday and she has signed me off for a couple of weeks so I don’t have to get anxious about work plus hopefully the current haemorrhage will have drained a bit by then. Second lot of laser today, the surgeon was unable to complete the session as he said the view was quite hazy in places from the most recent bleeds but at least he managed to do some. He said he could also see his laser from last week and it looked good. Because of the current bleed he is delaying the next laser for 4-6 weeks to allow it to hopefully clear. He said he did not know at this stage if I would need a vitrectomy but I suppose that depends on how the current bleed clears. He re-assured me for the second time that I was not going to lose my sight. He said my vision was very good and the retina looked healthy and undamaged aside from the neovascularisation, it’s reassuring but I don’t think I’m entirely going to be convinced until I’ve been told it’s stable. Apparently my version of this condition is called florid as it happened very rapidly since my last screen in September, I switched from a vegetarian to vegan diet and my BG control, my general health and running all improved rapidly as a result of this. I was feeling so super healthy and energised it just seems sad that as a consequence this has happened! My DSN has told me to carry on with this lifestyle and level of control as it will be better in the long term! I have a follow up appointment in the eye clinic next Friday so they will see how I’m doing then. Thanks again everyone! :) [/QUOTE]
