One More Side-Effect from Prednisone

[Guest guest]

I have to admit I wasn't ready for the news I received from my last

trip to the eye doctor. I have been having a little trouble with my

vision, but didn't think it was anything to worry about. When I went

for my visit last Friday, I found out that I have subocular cataracts

on both eyes and need to have surgery as soon as possible. I had

noticed my vision was not as clear lately, but did not know it was as

bad as I was told. When I went in less than 6 months ago, there were

no signs on the cataracts. When I went in last Friday, they were both

at +2. He said I was still street legal, but he could not say for how

much longer because the cataracts came on so quickly. It also didn't

make me feel really good when the technician measuring my eyes said

she had never had a patient who was having surgery at such a young age.

Needless to say, I had to schedule surgery before I left the office.

I went for second opinion and received the same answer. Not real

happy about it, but life goes on in th IgAN world! Surgery is

schedule for September 28th. A month after my cytoxan treatment!

Busy, busy, busy.

Hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves.
