You are very welcome! I'm glad you found your way to Connect. May I ask how you came about finding us?
I can imagine your vision loss is quite scary. I empathize as I've had vision problems from a corneal disease, my Mom experiences ocular migraines which produce temporary vison loss, and my Dad also has corneal disease and is blind in one eye as a result. It must be awful to not know why this is happening for you.
Awesome news that you submitted a Mayo application. It sounds like a wise choice at this point. Self-referring is a great first step and you have already had your neurologist refer you as well. That's all I'm aware of to forward the process. Producing your medical records ASAP including tests and scans, and history surrounding the nature of your problem to be reviewed can help expedite, and then Mayo decides if they think they can help you or not.
My fingers are crossed that the ball gets rolling soon and you get accepted to be seen and evaluated. 🤞 Will you please report back on your progress? I will be curious.
Keep the faith, my friend. It will get figured out.
