So it's not Macular Degeneration...

I posted background info in my message "Could it be Macular Degeneration?" 6-11-99. Now I have been sent to the U of Houston Eye Institute for 5 hrs of thorough testing. One specialist said I had a "disk at risk", afferent pupil defect, a pale disc and questionable border...then said I could have a meningioma. My March orbit MRI was not done with fat sat so they want that done over. I thought I would have a diagnosis by now...I've been to my opthamologist, neurologist and now neuro-opthamologists (2) with an intern checking everything out...so frustrating. My R eye keeps getting foggier and the fan-like shadow keeps swirling in my eye. I looked up meningiomas on the web and it isn't too thrilling to contemplate that kind of diagnosis...and it's very hard to wait and wait and wait. Thank you for your website and being there for all of us who need someone to talk to.
