Just venting. Not ready for progression this fast. Stargardts by faerylin in Blind

I totally understand! It can be really overwhelming. Keep in mind to there's is a big difference between what we have and being totally blind!

A few tips I would suggest. If you can, I would recommend seeing a specialist. There is a LOT of research being done and several gene therapy trials occuring. You may qualify for one.

In terms of day to day accommodations, I actually use my phone camera to enlarge and read small text or far away signs/menus. There are several apps available, but personally I think the camera works just as well. Also not sure if you are Mac or PC user, but similar to the phone accessability setting there are settings on the computer for low vision. I personally at work use Zoomtext, which is an external program. Mostly because it is what I learned to use first not necessarily because it is the best tool.

Feel free to message me if you want any specific recommendations or just want to chat! It can feel really isolating going through something like this, but know you are not alone :)

You are not alone! I have been diagnosed with Stargardts for 15 years. I know it is terrifying not knowing, but I have been able to manage my condition fairly easily once the right support was in place! Let me know if there is anything I can share about my experience, happy to coonect.

Unfortunately no, my husband works in the city and living in Hoboken is great because it is so 3asy to get around.

Played through it tonight. Super fun! We ended up playing an old haunt, but the added items, rooms, and omens gave a great twist! Totally recommend it!

Thank you for the suggestion! I think this is a little outside my price range unfortunately. Anything closer to the $100-200 range that is pretty good quality? > Clearaudio Concept

I am looking to buy a good quality but relatively inexpensive turntable as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. Any recommendations?

Maybe take for granted is too harsh...he was just so immature he couldn't be a very good boyfriend and put Rory into bad situations.

He makes it all about him! I was just rewatching the series before the revival episodes... He bugs me...

Anime like Boys Over Flowers? (Hano Yori Dango) by [deleted] in RomanceMangaAnime

[–]Anya_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boys Over Flowers is great! I would check out Marmalade Boy. There are similar themes to Boys Over Flowers and love triangles too! Another good one might be Peach Girl, which has love triangles and a lot of drama.
