@sabrinamischele Welcome to the support group! I know you’ve been on Mayo Clinic Connect since February, and have just now made yourself known. And that’s lucky for us! You mentioned the 2 eye doctors, so I thought to give definitions for those who would like them.
For those who might not be familiar with the eye doctors:
an ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in care of the eye and eye diseases.
An optometrist is one who tests and fits people for glasses
You came to the Autoimmune Support group. Do you have a question or problem that you would like help with?

@becsbuddy no I’m sorry if I’m not supposed to be in this space I won’t be anymore if it’s a problem no I didn’t have a specific question or answers and obviously I’m going about this the wrong way so I apologize for any rules that I may have broken. I was just trying to help. Do I have to have a specific problem or question? Is that what it requires? I need to know if I’m breaking some rules or going about things wrong that’s all. Please let me know.

@sabrinamischele Oh, sabrinamischele, I’m so sorry that my message came across in a bad way! I was just asking you the same question I ask everyone. Some people need to be “encouraged” to ask questions and others are very comfortable. Please stay with us on Mayo Clinic Connect and any questions you would like to ask (as long as you follow the guidelines for everyone on Mayo Connect).
Becky
