I am still trying to figure out why the retina specialist whom here I will call Dr. Deluge answered my question about why I had macular degeneration by saying "Because you are on Prolia."
As discussed elsewhere this caused me to believe I had to choose between my bones or my eyes, and I live each day with the flood of pain of resulting when I acted on that belief!
Could he have meant "because you have osteoporosis?"
If so, why didn't he say that. to allow my life to go on as normal?
The thoracic and lumbar fractures I now live with will always create problems for me. And my body will always be deformed and likely a lot weaker.
But at least I can protect myself from more damage and still get my eyes taken care of and Prolia shots as well!
My last Prolia shot was on May11, 2023 at Northwestern.
The next Prolia shot will be on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. at Northwestern with Dr. Hahr. (676 St. Clair, Room 14-100).
My next Retina date is on August 29, 2023 with Dr. Godspeak.
I hope he will make these issues clear to his patients -- which Dr. Deluge so carelessly and/or thoughtlessly and/or deliberately and/or disastrously failed to do!
