“DRD has taken so much from me; it has felt like an unending series of challenges. While I recognize the many blessings in my life, including my wonderful son, the shadow of this disease often looms large, reminding me of my losses. I only find respite from what has happened to my eyes when I sleep. Injection days are super emotional for me, with my anxiety going through the roof. The therapies available now are barbaric. It is my dream to have the treatments available to patients less traumatic. I mean, who wants a needle in their eyes or a laser? When patients have their appointments, the fear doesn’t go away when they leave. It hangs over us like a dark cloud.”
