Hi Mostlyjackie,
You mentioned being age 50 at diagnosis. Was that that early or intermediate? I'm curious how old you are now?
It seems everyday I learn something new about myself lol. I requested my records from my Opthalmologist because I was not getting the information I felt I deserved so I decided to start digging in on my own. At first, I believed I was 52 maybe when this started but according to my records they knew in at least 2018 that I had small drusen but failed to tell me, well in person, because according to my records we've had in depth conversations about it which is a total lie. Would I be this upset or as upset as I was if I've known this for seven plus years? Of course not, It was a total shock that messed me up bad. Then to find out I've been misled and lied to. Now, my calculations actually put me at 49/50 years old or younger 😡. I'm still seeing great thank the Lord.
I'm curious how you are doing, how long you've known, and at what stage were you diagnosed?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
I have a friend in the UK who was diagnosed maybe 17-20 years ago and she's still doing great. She's 70 and says she was diagnosed in her 50s but cannot remember exactly the year/age. She still drives and everything. I pray this will also be my story.
Talk soon, PTL
