No matter what happens you WILL prevail!

PM me if you need more.

things will work out... whats meant to be is meant to be... but hey at least you can get the medical marijuana!

Im so sorry to hear that. I don't know what to expect from that personally. I didnt hear about it until I saw this question.

it is ok try not to worry find facts about it online and not from friends talk to your doctor and stay calm

I don't know much about it, but I'll try to help.

First, you "could" go blind...if you take care of yourself, you can greatly decrease the chances of that. Talk to the doctors and find out what you have to change in order to stay healthy. Have fun, do what you love, and just keep living. Don't worry about what "could" happen, because worrying won't add a single day to your life and it won't change anything and will just make the present worse.

If you need to talk more, message me.

God bless.

I found out I have glaucoma recently. I'm treating it with Lumigen eye drops. Glaucoma progresses very slowly. It's nothing to panic about.

Hi, I have glaucoma, too. I have had my right eye laser cut to improve the flow of vitreous humor.

I use Xlatan every night---a common eye drop for glaucoma.

As long as you follow your doctor prescribed drug treatment your prognosis will be good. My ophthalmologist told me that glaucoma that is properly treated will not necessarily result in blindness,.

The laser treatment was nothing! I got myself all worked up into a tither and the worst thing was the "goopy stuff" they put into my eye to keep it from drying out whilst they were laser cutting the slits. The "goop" had the consistency of petroleum jelly. The next day my eye felt a little dry and tired--that was it!! And here I had myself all freaked out about it. lol

Follow the directions that your ophthalmologist gives you and faithfully go to your quarterly appointments; you will do fine.

BTWI - I already asked my doctor about medicinal marijuana----buzzzzzz, no way!! Darn.
