66531Hi Barb, New to this site and have been looking around a little. I can relate to the macular degeneration. Mine was discovered in 2005 at which point both eyes were "dry". Since that time my left eye has gone "wet" and I have no central vision in that eye. I get shots for it to hopefully dry it up. It works for a bit then starts leaking again. I wish you well with it and hope I have found you in time.

Welcome to Cute Embroidery!
I am afraid this is a very old post. She may not reply. I have not seen a post from her since 2012
3Hi Barbara, my prayers and thoughts are with you too and I pray that He will keep you under the shadow of His wings. God is great and a mighty healer.
Psalm 121 -
"I lift my eyes to the hills -
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
he who watches over you will not
slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your shade at your right
hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming
and going
both now and evermore.
Love and blessings Chris

Thank-you for the prayers. I have no symptoms. Something told me to get an eye exam 3 months sooner than my yearly check.
The Dr.discovered it when he did the exam.
85867Barb,
So sorry to hear this news. You will be in my prayers.
3294O dear Barb, I will keep you on my prayers. I send you hugs. Flower and XoXo
44254You'll be im my prayers, too. May God keep you in the hollow of His hand!...
14227Oh, Barb, of course you are in my prayers! My aunt was diagnosed with this condition several years ago now, and her doctor gave her medication, and told her to take the vitamin Lutein. It came on rather suddenly, but does not seem to have progressed any since she started the Lutein & going to the eye doctor. Google everything you can about this disease, learn about it, so you have the knowledge to conquer it. Do not despair, above all, whatever the condition, FEAR always makes it worse! TRUST, hope, love, lay it on the Lord, you really WILL be ok!!! Big big hugs, Marji

Thank-you Marji for your thoughts and prayers. I have read and researched everything that I can find on this condition. I am taking the new vitamin and supplement regime that is supposed to help.
33451You have my prayers! My Mother-In-Law was diagnosed several years ago, and so far, she has had only a very little bit of change to her eye sight.I hope it is the same with you. I really don't know much about it, but I hope it is a very slowly progressing issue.

15289Barb, You will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. This is such terrible news but the Lord is the only one that know for sure. Pray and believe that He can and will help you get through this with your sight. The Lord is a good and loving Lord and there are so many things that are progressing in the medical field daily. I will pray that this will be something that can be controlled until a cure can be found. Many prayers go out to you just from this group alone. May God bless and keep you in His loving Hands Barb. Hugs, Linda

There is a gene that they have associated with macular degeneration. No one in my family has had AMD to my knowledge.
Please keep me in your prayers and on your prayer lsit.

15289Barb, I'm so sorry that you have Macular Degeneration. Please don't give up hope. I had to have both of my lenses removed when they detatched, and I can still see. Yes, I wear glasses but have 20/20 vision right in front of me.(No periferal vision to speak of) New things are being discovered every day. I'll be praying that this will happen in your case. Please know that we love you and care about you. ****

740317Father God in the name of Jesus I ask that you intervene into this situation and turn it around for your good. I bind up every foe and I command them to the pits of hell until judgement day. Lord the doctors can take us but so far but you are the God of MIRACLES. Lord I ask that you loose the spirit of HEALING right now and bind up all fear. You have not given us the spirit of fear. Jesus allow this to be used as a TESIMONY. On the cross you FINISHED and CONQUERED DEATH, SICKNESS and SIN. Lord loose the MIRACLE and confuse the enemy. In Jesus Name I thank you and it is so, AMEN. Barb I want you to begin to thank God for your healing, He's going to do it. I have placed your name in my Prayer Book. Be BLESSED and Highly Favored of the Lord.
63109Dearest Barb, You will have my prayers,for sure!! They are constantly coming up with new medicines, and cures, so please do not give up hope. God Bless, H&*
