I'm sorry for what you are going through, I too get severe headaches due to a different problem. If in Canada, those things should be covered, but if in U.S. I really don't know what you can due. Maybe you can Google some of the problems and look for different solutions there, or perhaps seek a social worker and they may steer you in the right direction. Good luck

I am very sorry to hear that.Please do not give up.Read all you can about these ailments and try to get a second opinion.If,God forbid,you lose your sight, it does not mean that your life is over.Can you take something to calm you down a little?Talking to people who care may ease some of your fear,also.I have a feeling that things will turn out ok for you.Be sure to ask your doctor plenty of questions.Please let me know how things go.If you need to talk,please write me back any time you want.

I know this may come across as being a "typical" statement, but science has proven some positive medicinal results from smoking marijuana. No, I am not advocating the use of controlled substances, but when one is at one's wits end, one is subject to try anything.
I have macular desintegration (which is uncommon for my race), my mother has had two cornea transplants and a "lazy-eye" surgery, perscription glasses won't help me but reading glasses do...I'm saying this because I have some experience with failing eye function, so I wish you well with your dilema....in the meantime: puff-puff, pass!

I feel sorry for you, best I can say is just hang in there and when you disability finally comes through you could have enough back pay to have some really cool new techniques done to your eyes and see better than before.

ok, maybe eating carrots will help cuz of the vitamins.
Try training ur eyes (i think theyre are things u can do online that are like basically exercises for ur eyes and it makes them stronger- i heard of someone hu did tht and it got better)
Pray to G-d and have others do the same.
Hope u get better.
