I am not sure where you are in America but there are some fine, caring and professional doctors over there and they lead the world in their expertise. Have any of your doctors mentioned Cancer As...

Re: Autoimmune Retinopathy AIR

Re: Autoimmune Retinopathy AIR

Thank you Ann and Mike for taking the time to reply, your input and your warm welcome. Yep I also wish we were meeting in another way Ann. I would not wish this disease on anyone but it is so good to 'know' someone else on the journey and you sound so switched on. My doctors consistently tell me tha...
