   <p>I am new to this. Left eye has dry macular degeneration and I have myopia, astigmatisms are horrible. Plus I had cataract surgery before this happened. Now my right eye has it too. The specialist did dye test in my arm. My right eye has a clot behind it and red dots, leakage. He says non diabetic retinopathy. He told me no shots yet and is making me wait 2 months for some reason. I am very nervous about this. He said he thinks it is caused by poor blood circulation. I am on the vitamins and nervously waiting.</p>

      <p>Hi <inline-mention user-id="3136482" username="septemberblondi" class="bp-suggestions-mention"/> , nervously waiting is the worst! One of our advocates, Cora, actually wrote an article about how progression can feel like an endless waiting game - <a href='https://maculardegeneration.net/living/dry-progression/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>https://maculardegeneration.net/living/dry-progression/</a> You are not alone, and I know many here can relate to the anxiety that comes with macular degeneration and eye health. We&apos;re here for you and I hope you&apos;ll continue to keep us posted on how you&apos;re doing. Thinking of you! - Shelby, MacularDegeneration Team</p>

      <p>Sight is one of our primary senses, and losing it in any form is really frightening <inline-mention user-id="3136482" username="septemberblondi" class="bp-suggestions-mention"/> . So many here are feeling the same way - we are all in this together, and you are not alone! <br> - Shelby, <a href='http://MacularDegeneration.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>MacularDegeneration.net</a> Team Member</p>
