[QUOTE="bonerp, post: 110017, member: 1216"] Hi I've had diabetes for around 32 yrs and retinopathy for around 10/11 yrs, and had laser in all that time. I still get bleeds and although I'm now on a pump and got hb1a's down to 7 I still get them. Lately seem fairly regularly too. I've had so much laser that there isn't much room left for much more so they are reluctant to do it for small bleeds. Last thurs I had one, had appointment on fri and they did nothing, then yesterday had a biggy. Its a PITA cos will take over a week to clear now. Have also been told no more gym/weights. Ever. Pretty PO at the moment. Heres some info i found on the web - treat with care. Although I have ready the bits around Vit E, bilberry and Ginko around a few places. I am trying Bilberry and Vit E. Interesting on 1000 Vit C - makes me feel terrible whenever I've tried it. ****** Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: Vitamin A and carotenoid are needed to keep healthy eyes and to improve night vision. Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: Take Ginkgo Biloba to increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the eye and to clear toxins. It is very helpful in retinopathy. Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: Bilberry strengthens and protects veins and blood vessels, protects the retina, reduces pressure in glaucoma and damage cause by diabetic retinopathy. Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: Grape seed extract contains procyanidins which strengthens retinal capillaries and prevents clots or bleeding, provides vital nutrients, increases night vision and slows eye ageing. It also prevents and treats retinopathy and arteriosclerosis in the eye. Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: Eat spinach and take Lutein or spinach extract. They contain carotenoid needed for retina and eye tissue and sometimes reverses many eye conditions. Home Remedies for retinopathy #1: We recommend that you check Diabetes for important herbs and nutrients needed for diabetes and to prevent diabetic retinopathy. *** Interesting about Avastin - but whats the point if you still get bleeds??? Isn't this the whole problem with retinopathy??? I've had over 15,000 zaps in each eye. i'm guessing next step may well be a vitrectomy....gulp. Paul [/QUOTE]
