Hi Payette, I too am torn about treatment or no, as I said. I am leaning to no treatment. My hearing keeps getting worse all by itself. The two hearing professionals I see both said consider not doing the treatment. I will not choose two make myself deaf and I will not choose to impair my vision reversible or not. I am studying the breathing techniques and trying to do airway clearance techniques as best as I can--huffing, controlled coughing, gentle pounding of the chest. I am doing interval stationary biking for my lungs, walking at least 3 miles or more a day. Learning how to hock for best results. I am willing to do that and more daily to live as long as I can with the best quality of life possible. Good luck in what ever choice you make. Thank you! keep me posted. Nancy

Walking 3 miles plus stationary bike. That's impressive. Sounds as if you are doing all the right things. I hope they all work together to help you thrive. Live long and prosper!

You think the way I do. They have just discovered macular in one of my eyes. With the treatment, I could lose my vision and that’s not a risk I wanna take. I know exactly what you mean. Quality of life means a lot. God bless you and I wish you all the best.
