I recently was diagnosed with a rare inherited eye disease (eye) in which I had to go to a hospital because of my age. I’m really hoping I can finally find a specialist who will help me. I’m not sure if I can even help it at the moment (I’ve been at home and in the hospital for 2 days now).
I think I’m going to be a little more aggressive now, but it’s a great thing I just need help! I’m so sorry to hear that your eyes are so rare.
Thanks again,
Dr. j.s
Hello,
Hi, I was diagnosed with this problem on September 13, 2010. I was given the diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is a type of eye disease that affects many people from the general population. I was told that my vision was going in blue, but I couldn’t see any detail because my vision was blurred. I was given a prescription to see a specialist for further investigation. My doctor diagnosed me with Retinitis Pigmentosa.
I’ve been on my doctor’s leave and have been experiencing the side effects of a rare inherited eye disease which causes the blue vision to turn to green. I’ve been getting the most recent dose of my current medication which I’ve been taking as the reason for the vision loss. I have tried not to take the prescription for the eye medication and have had the side effects of nausea, headaches, and vomiting (not that I know of this but my doctor said that they were caused by my condition). I have also been on a daily dose of Propecia (propecia) and it has helped so much. It’s been over 3 months now since my last dose. My vision has been severely blurred, and I’m so glad to be on my doctor’s leave for a few months.
I’m very grateful to all of you who are helping me, and I hope you find a specialist who can help you. I’ve been prescribed Propecia as an anti-retinitis agent for a number of years. I have also been told that I’m now pregnant. This has been a great relief for me and my baby. I’m very sorry to hear that I was in a coma when I was first diagnosed.
Hello, I’m sorry to hear that your eyes are so rare. I’m glad to hear that your vision is very limited. I know it sounds scary but I don’t want to get my vision down too much. I’m just hoping that if I can find a specialist that I can help me I’ll be able to take care of myself.
I’m sorry that you’ve been in such a coma, but I am so glad to hear that you have recovered, and that you’re back to your normal self. I hope you find a specialist who will help you.
Hi,
Thanks so much for the input. I think I’ll try to take care of myself.
The only thing I’m unsure about is whether or not I should get my vision back in the blue. I’ve been prescribed Propecia and am on the same medication.
I’ve also been taking a daily dose of Propecia, which I’ve been taking for years. I’ve also been prescribed a low dose of this medication and it’s helping to keep my vision from being blurred.
I’m not sure if Propecia is the right medication for me but if I take the medicine I may not see the vision of the patient. I’ve been on Propecia and it has been my only concern now.
I just wanted to give a second shot of my vision, and hope you find someone who can help you.
Thanks for the advice, I think I’ll try to take care of myself.
You’re very welcome, I’m sure you’re all doing great.
I recently had a discussion with a GP about finasteride and I had a question about this medication. I am using it for a hair loss and have been using it for years and it has worked well for me, but I am worried about the side effects. I have heard that there is an FDA-approved alternative, finasteride that is better suited for me. I am curious if there is something more suitable for my hair loss, or is it the combination of the two.
I have heard of the finasteride in Canada. I have tried the generic in other countries, but that is not the way I take it, and I don’t know what to do with it. I just need to be careful with side effects. Does anyone know of any alternative options?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I’ve read about it in the forums but I’ve never heard of it. It seems that there are many different hair loss treatments but this seems to be one that is best for me. I’d be interested to hear if any of them are in your area.
I have tried both of these, as well as Propecia (it was the same), and finasteride. They both work well, and I am sure it has something to do with the finasteride. I’ve tried all three and they worked better than Propecia. I think this could be a side effect of the other finasteride and not just a drug-induced effect.
I think it’s important to know that finasteride is also a drug, and has been used for some time. It’s very rare to get an erection when taking finasteride and it’s not known if it’s permanent. I would recommend it to you if you are using finasteride for hair loss and you don’t want to take it for long.
Thanks in advance.
I have tried both of these. I do not think there is any benefit to the combination.
I have been using both of these. I do not think it is a good idea for my hair loss, however, as it is in the US, and my doctor was not aware of how it works for me. I would recommend it if you are already using it for hair loss.
Hi I have been using the Propecia in the UK for years. It is not a prescription drug but is sometimes prescribed by doctors, and some people have been prescribed this. The side effects are similar and I have been using it for a long time. I am a female, and my hair loss has not gone away since I started taking it. I started using Propecia in 2005 and have been taking it for 2 years. It works well for me and I am still very happy with it. The side effects are similar, but not the same. I started taking the pill at the start of my hair loss, and the side effects were not as bad as I had thought. I’ve had the hair loss for a few years and it has not gotten much worse. I am using the Propecia regularly now, and I am not worried about any side effects. I do not know what to do. Thanks for any help.
Hi, I have been taking the generic finasteride. I have been using it for about 4 months now. I have noticed the side effects are much less bad than I thought. I am now using the Propecia, but it has not been as good as the generic. The side effects are much better. I will keep my Propecia and the generic in my pharmacy in case of side effects. Any advice or suggestions are really appreciated!
Thanks again for the answers.
I have been using the Propecia for about 3 months. The side effects are much better than the generic, but I have not noticed any significant difference. I do not think that the generic finasteride is a good choice for me, and I’m not sure of the side effects. I think it is good to be patient, because I am not worried about the side effects. I will be using the generic finasteride soon. I hope to see a few more months of consistent use. It was a good choice for me.
