For help with blindness contact: NFB (National Federation of the Blind.
The web address is www.nfb.org or call them at (410) 659-9314.
They are out of Baltimore, MD (1800 Jackson Street 21230)
They have been a blessing to my parents (my mom has macular degeneration and cataracts) and I became blind in my left eye due to a stroke five years ago.
They have very neat things to get you started and keep you going. I hope that helps you. I am so sorry for what you are going through.
Kind regards
You definitely need to seek long term medical care. I would definitely contact Medicaid, set up at appointment and get you immediate help. There is also an Adult Medicaid office that provides immediate help for adults over a certain age. Also if you seek help through your local church benevolence ministry they can help. God Bless you.
Dear Friends,
I have very much enjoyed my time on Medhelp and have learned from you even while hosting our Ask-A-Doctor forum for Diabetes. Sadly I am leaving the Medhelp community as my own practice has become busier and time constraints have proved quite challenging. So from April 7th 2008 I will be officially away from Medhelp, but you can still find me at our practice website www.endocrinehelp.com, so please drop me a line if you wish. Most likely a new physician will be hosting the Diabetes forum for Medhelp in the future, so please continue to check in with the Medhelp community.
All the best to you and blessings for the future,
Sincerely,
Anita Ramsetty,MD
Start by calling your local catholic church and ask them if they have a St. Vincent de Paul Society group. Our church has one and they help with money for meds and doctors, transportation, doctor calls, etc. Explain what your situation is. There ARE people who will help you. Don't give up. You may have to call a larger catholic church in your area to get the help you need. Good luck and God bless. D
