Hi Tracey. Your original post was in August and I am assuming 2011. It is now June 2012 and I wonder how you are doing? I just got diagnosed with DAMD and awaiting some tests to tell me more. I have to work hard to deal with the diagnosis as I also have PTSD and MDD. I have meds for both anxiety and depression but of course meds only do so much. I use Cognative Behaviorial Therapy techniques but of course regardless of what I do, I have my times of getting down. Anyway if you read this I am just curious on how you are doing almost a year later.

I am glad to hear that you haven't noticed any changes in your vision for a year. MDD is Major Depressive Disorder. I do the Anselar Grid test everyday and will have a test to look at my retinas on the 28th of this month. Thanks for the reply. It lifted my spirits.
How did your testing on the 28th?

Hi
Yes it has almost been a year since I was dignosed. I went through a period where I was very depreseed. So far there has been no change as far as I can tell. I of course will have to go for new testing to see if they can see any change. My life really is still the same. I now know that there are alot of resources out there to help. I know what PTSD is but what is MDD?
