Starting The Journey

I am new to this scary world of wet macular degeneration.

My third shot with a retinal specialist

Yesterday I had my third shot and so far, I have had good results. I have asked my retinal specialist a few questions, but I've done most of the research myself. I would love to find another patient to discuss it with.

Curious about side effects

I'm curious, does everyone have the same after-effects I have? Can anyone drive after getting the shot? That was an experience for me that I don't want to repeat. I did ask if I would be able to drive after the shot and the answer was "some people can."

Driving home after injections

Since I don't have trouble driving with my eyes dilated, I thought I would be ok after the shot so for the first one I drove the 10 miles to the office, got the shot, and headed home. Let me just say, I will never do that again.

Yesterday a friend took me and had to wait 2 hours and 15 minutes for me. That put more stress on me. From now on I will Uber. I have had a good result but there is so much I want to discuss and ask about. I am hoping that I will find some folks on this site that will share their experiences.
