There is no cure. I had a difficult time with that for a long time. But I wake up every morning thanking God for giving me another day. Others have it worse than me. I had a friend who is blind tell me she would rather have what she has, macular degeneration than what I have any day. To say the least I shut down on her. People can be so very rude. Each of us have our own cross to bear, but I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I don't want pity.
