Re: [fuchs_corneal_dystrophy] medication

Shirley,
My transplant story is related at http://www.fuchs-dystrophy.org
for AOL
<a href="http://www.fuchs-dystrophy.org">Through a Glass, Darkly</a>
and I describe in detail how my vision improved after the transplant. If you
join our private group of Fuchs' Friends, you can read the stories of many
members who also tell of their regained vision. Here's how much my vision
improved. Before the transplant I couldn't drive, couldn't go shopping for
my own clothes (couldn't read the tags), couldn't show my customers any
houses by myself (my hubby had to go along and be sure I didn't fall down or
up any steps). Yesterday I did all of these things BY MYSELF. That's just a
small sample of what I got back in my life with my new vision. Would I have
the transplant again? YES!!! A million times!!!

Caro, the steroids you take for a period of time after a transplant are EYEDROPS. I never heard of an eyedrop that made you gain weight. I continued to work...
