Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Thank you, Vikki. I appreciate the prayers!! You did luck out with your opthalmologist!! I love my opthalmologist. She is so sweet and caring. Total opposite of her husband!!! (he is an orthopedic surgeon). She has taken care of me since 1993 when she did vision correction surgery on me. I love her, my sister and her family go to her as well. She is doing everything she can to help me. I know that without any doubt!! Thanks again for the reply!!..Marina --- In , " Vikki Wingfield " <VWAvon@c...> wrote: > Sorry to hear about your Sjogrens. I have it also, but the Restasis had done wonders for me!

It sounds like you've got a good dr. who knows what he is doing. Hang in there! One of my favorite sayings is " The only constant in life is that things change. " I hope things change for you soon. I'll keep you in my prayers. > Vikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
