Diet Recommendation
I am writing as a caregiver to my husband. I will read these articles and email to him as his caregiver. He says he has wet in left eye and he gets injections every 3 mos. He can no longer drive. He tells me his right eye is normal. I have to verify that with his doctor. He also has cognitive problems only since his diagnosis so I can't take his word on anything.
As a caregiver you can play an important role supporting your husband. With the added dementia that is especially important. Are you allowed to sit in when he sees the doctor? It would be helpful to hear what the doctor says. You may want to take a list of questions to ask. Warm wishes, Sharon Moore Patient Leader
He is on Areds 2 and Goji Berries were recommended last month along with the Areds2, Coupons we receive. He was diagnosed with cognitive problems 2 years ago after the macular degeneration diagnosis 21/2 years ago. He has 2 neurological meds which seem to be helping the progression of dementia. He doesn't accept that glasses won't help the macular problem.
Did anyone else receive the Areds 2 coupons with the Goji Berries recommendation along with it. They are a bit pricey but if they help the progression of macular to slow down, they are Golden. We will see.
No I didn’t receive the coupon. Please let us know what you think after trying it. Thanks for sharing, Sharon Moore Patient Leader
He has been on them a couple of weeks. eating a 5 or 6 a day, like a handful, I guess. Too soon to tell. My daughter told me a new drug has just been approved by FDA for injection. It is said to improve and possibly reverse Macular Degeneration. As soon as she sends me the link, I will get back to you. She was looking for something else on her phone and came upon it. He now gets injections of ilea in one eye every 3 months. I may have spelled that drug wrong.
