today i saw a retinal specialist because previously i had been told that i had suspicious depigmentation spots on my retinas that could indicate macular degeneration... well its not macular degeneration
huge sigh of relief!
what they found instead was central serous retinopathy--i have a pocket of fluid behind my retina. if you are wondering why i am telling you about this, its because (like everything else i have been diagnosed with lately i mean, 3 for 3 this year, what the heck!), no one knows why a person develops this condition BUT the risk factors are stress and...
steroids!
so, i thought you all might find this information relevant since steroids are used by most of the board members. and i think it goes without saying that we are under stress, what with living with a chronic debilitating condition and all.
CSR causes blurred and distorted vision. so if you develop these symptoms, and nothing else can explain it (like ON) you might want to get your retinas checked especially if you have recently been treated with steroids.
